【 摘 要 】

It is shown how the resonant states induced by a single spinless impurity in a d(x2-y2)-wave superconductor evolve under the effect of an applied Zeeman magnetic field. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the spin-orbit coupling to the impurity potential can have important and characteristic effects on the resonant states and their response to the Zeeman field, especially when the impurity is close to the unitary limit. For zero or very small spin-orbit interaction, the resonant states becomes Zeeman split by the magnetic field while when the spin-orbit coupling is important, new low-lying resonances arise which do not show any Zeeman splitting.
