Interaction Effects on Quasiparticle Localization in Dirty Superconductors

Abstract

We study how quasiparticle interactions affect their localization properties in dirty superconductors with broken time reversal symmetry -- for example in a magnetic field. For SU(2) spin-rotation invariant (class C) systems, the only important coupling is the spin-spin triplet interaction, which we study within a renormalization group approach. Either an additional Zeeman coupling or a complete breaking of spin rotation symmetry renders all interactions irrelevant. These two situations realize, respectively, the non-interacting unitary Anderson and the ``thermal'' (class D) universality class. Our results imply a stable metallic phase in 2D for class D. Experimental implications are discussed.
