Abstract

Vortex structure of dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2}-wave superconductors is microscopically analyzed in the framework of the quasi-classical Eilenberger equations. If the pairing interaction contains an ss-wave (dxyd_{xy}-wave) component in addition to a dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2}-wave component, the ss-wave (dxyd_{xy}-wave) component of the order parameter is necessarily induced around a vortex in dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2}-wave superconductors. The spatial distribution of the induced ss-wave and dxyd_{xy}-wave components is calculated. The ss-wave component has opposite winding number around vortex near the dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2}-vortex core and its amplitude has the shape of a four-lobe clover. The amplitude of dxyd_{xy}-component has the shape of an octofoil. These are consistent with results based on the GL theory.
