We study theoretically the effect of impurity scattering in f-wave (or
) superconductors. The quasi-particle density of states of f-wave
superconductor is very similar to the one for d-wave superconductor as
in hole-doped high Tc cuprates. Also in spite of anisotropy in
, both the reduced superfluid density and
the reduced electronic thermal conductivity is completely isotropic.
