A unique feature of the traditional BCS model of superconductivity is the quantum-mechanical coherence of particle and hole states. We use the Fermi liquid model of superconductivity to study the implications of particle-hole coherence on properties of d-wave superconductors near surfaces. Typical surface phenomena are a suppression of superconducting order, surface states bound by repeated Andreev reflections, anomalous screening currents, and spontaneous breaking of time reversal. We review these phenomena and present new results on the effects of surface roughness.
