Two impurities in a d-wave superconductor:local density of states
  We study the problem of two local potential scatterers in a d-wave superconductor, and show how quasiparticle bound state wave functions interfere. Each single-impurity electron and hole resonance energy is in general split in the presence of a second impurity into two, corresponding to one even parity and one odd parity state. We calculate the local density of states (LDOS), and argue that scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements should be capable of extracting information about the Green's function in the pure system by a systematic study of 2-impurity configurations. In some configurations highly localized, long-lived states are predicted. We discuss the effects of realistic band structures, and how 2-impurity STM measurements could help distinguish between current explanations of LDOS impurity spectra in the BSCCO-2212 system.
