17. To minimize the orbital effect of magnetic field one can apply it parallel to the surface of superconductor. The magnetic field is penetrating the surface sheath on the scale of penetration depth so that its effect on the conduction electrons for d-wave SC is small.

For this case our analysis needs to be modified to include effects of inhomogeneity. Local DOS results would sitll hold. We defer this discussion until more is known about inhomogeneity in high-Tc.
