Vortex structure in chiral p-wave superconductors

Superconductivity 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We investigate the vortex structure in chiral p-wave superconductors by the Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory on a tight-binding model. We calculate the spatial structure of the pair potential and electronic state around a vortex, including the anisotropy of the Fermi surface and superconducting gap structure. The differences of the vortex structure between sinpx+isinpy\sin p_x + {\rm i} \sin p_y-wave and sinpxisinpy \sin p_x - {\rm i} \sin p_y-wave superconductors are clarified in the vortex lattice state. We also discuss the winding 3\mp 3 case of the sin(px+py)±isin(px+py)\sin{(p_x+p_y)} \pm {\rm i} \sin{(-p_x+p_y)}-wave superconductivity.
