Description

We study theoretically the effect of impurity scattering in f-wave (or E2u) superconductors. The quasi-particle density of states of f-wave superconductor is very similar to the one for d-wave superconductor as in hole-doped high Tc cuprates. Also in spite of anisotropy in Δ(k), both the reduced superfluid density and the reduced electronic thermal conductivity is completely isotropic. (orig.)
