On Local Symmetric Order Parameters of Vortex Lattice States

Superconductivity 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

This paper gives a new refined definition of local symmetric order parameters (OPs)(s-wave, d-wave and p-wave order parameters) of vortex lattice states for singlet superconductivity. s-wave, d-wave and p-wave OPs at a site (m,n) are defined as A, B and E representations of the four fold rotation C_4 at the site (m,n) of nearest neighbor OPs <a_{(m,n)\downarrow}a_{(m+1,n)\uparrow}> etc. The new OPs have a well defined nature such that an OP(e.g. d-wave) at the site obtained under translation by a lattice vector (of the vortex lattice) from a site (m,n) is expressed by the corresponding OP (e.g. d-wave) at the site (m,n) times a phase factor. The winding numbers of s-wave and d-wave OPs are given.
