We contrast the effects of nonmagnetic impurities on the properties of superconductors having a [ital d][sub [ital x][sup 2][minus][ital y][sup 2]] order parameter, and a highly anisotropic [ital s]-wave (ASW) gap with the same nodal structure. The nonvanishing, impurity-induced, off-diagonal self-energy in the ASW state is shown to inhibit the low-energy excitations present in the clean system, leading to a qualitatively different impurity response of the single-particle density of states compared to the [ital d][sub [ital x][sup 2][minus][ital y][sup 2]] state. We discuss how this behavior can be employed to distinguish one state from the other by an analysis of high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectra.
