dc.descriptionWe present a mean-field theoretical study on the effect of a single non-magnetic impurity in quasi-one dimensional unconventional density wave. The local scattering potential is treated within the self-consistent $T$-matrix approximation. The local density of states around the impurity shows the presence of resonant states in the vicinity of the Fermi level, much the same way as in $d$-density waves or unconventional superconductors. The assumption for different forward and backscattering, characteristic to quasi-one dimensional systems in general, leads to a resonance state that is double peaked in the pseudogap. The Friedel oscillations around the impurity are also explored in great detail, both within and beyond the density wave coherence length $ξ_0$. Beyond $ξ_0$ we find power law behavior as opposed to the exponential decay of conventional density wave. The entropy and specific heat contribution of the impurity are also calculated for arbitrary scattering strengths.
