Abstract
The depression of with fraction of Zn substitution is studied across the underdoped and overdoped regions in La-214 and (Y,Ca)-123. The overdoped region is well described by elastic scattering at the unitarity limit with a -wave strong-coupling superconducting order parameter. The underdoped region shows a marked increase in , consistent with unitary scattering in the presence of an anisotropic normal-state pseudogap which depletes the density of states about .
