Abstract:
As is well known, Zn-substitution of Cu in the Cu-O2 plane in the hole-doped high Tc cuprates provides a semi-quantitative test of underlying d-wave superconductivity. Here we complement this with a parallel study of Ni-substitution, which gives rise to weak scattering described with the Born approximation.
