Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss the disorder effects. The disorder comprises of a distribution of nonmagnetic impurities. As such, ensemble averaged effects will be relevant. We focus on the suppression of superconductivity by considering the response of superconducting order parameter, transition temperature, and superfluid density in both s-wave and d-wave superconductors. Finally, we also discuss the localization/delocalization of gapless quasiparticles in a disordered d-wave superconductor within a single-parameter scaling approach.
