Description

We present a theory of combined nonmagnetic and magnetic momentum-dependent impurity scattering in the d -wave superconductor. After deriving a formula for the initial suppression of the critical temperature we discuss the experimental data for Zn and Ni substitutions as w ell as electron irradiation defects in cuprates. We suggest, that the unequal pair-breaking effect of Zn and Ni may be related to a different structure of the magnetic moments induced by these impurities. (author)
