Title: Optical and Thermal-Transport Properties of an Inhomogeneous d-Wave Superconductor
(Submitted on 30 Aug 2001 (v1), last revised 15 Apr 2002 (this version, v2))
Abstract: We calculate transport properties of disordered 2D d-wave superconductors from solutions of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations, and show that weak localization effects give rise to a finite frequency peak in the optical conductivity similar to that observed in experiments on disordered cuprates. At low energies, order parameter inhomogeneities induce linear and quadratic temperature dependencies in microwave and thermal conductivities respectively, and appear to drive the system towards a quasiparticle insulating phase.
