Abstract

We study a short coherence length d-wave superconductor with finite density\nof unitary scatterers using the Bogoliubov-deGennes technique. We find that the\nlow-energy density of states is reduced, the superfluid stiffness is\nsignificantly larger and off-diagonal long range order is more robust than the\nself-consistent T-matrix prediction. These results are a consequence of the\ninhomogeneous pairing amplitude in the ground state and of the low-lying\nexcitations formed by hybridized impurity resonances. These features, with\ntheir nontrivial spatial structure, cannot be adequately described within the\nconventional T-matrix approach.\n
