Supercurrent on a vortex core in 2H-NbSe$_2$: current driven scanning tunneling spectroscopy

Superconductivity 2013-09-05 v1 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

We report current driven scanning tunneling spectroscopy (CDSTS) measurements at very low temperatures on vortices in 2H-NbSe2. We find that a current produces an increase of the density of states at the Fermi level in between vortices, and a reduction of the zero bias peak at the vortex center. This occurs well below the de-pairing current. We conclude that a supercurrent affects the low energy part of the superconducting gap structure of 2H-NbSe2.
