Suppression of Tc due to impurity scattering with a phase — •Mareike Hoyer1, Sergey Syzranov1,2, and Jörg Schmalian1,31Institut für Theorie der Kondensierten Materie, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Karlsruhe, Germany — 2Department of Physics, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, USA — 3Institut für Festkörperphysik, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Karlsruhe, Germany

We consider weak disorder in a two-band superconductor and investigate the effect of a finite phase of the off-diagonal matrix element of the impurity potential in band representation. In particular, we analyze the impact on the superconducting transition temperature Tc. We concentrate on s++ and s+− symmetries of the superconducting order parameter which are widely discussed as possible candidates in iron pnictides.

We argue that the effect of impurity scattering on the transition temperature in complex materials such as iron pnictides cannot be reduced to the consideration of single-particle scattering rates. Depending on the phase φ, we find that nonmagnetic impurities can act as pair-breakers for the s++ state while such impurities can leave Tc for the s+− state unchanged.
