Summary
Chapter 8 studies the many-impurity scattering effects in d-wave superconductors, particularly in the unitary or Born scattering limit. The impurity corrections to self-energy, density of states, superconducting critical temperature, entropy and specific heat are derived and compared with measurement data for high-Tc superconductors.
