摘要
The newly discovered superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 is most likely of p-wave. We study theoretically the impurity scattering in p-wave superconductors in the unitarity limit. A small amount of impurities not only reduces strongly the superconducting transition temperature, but also modifies dramatically the electronic properties. The present theory describes reasonably well a recent specific-heat measurement in Sr2RuO4.
