We have studied a single vortex with the staggered flux (SF) core based on the SU(2) slave-boson theory of high $T_c$ superconductors. We find that whereas the center in the vortex core is a SF state, as one moves away from the core center,…
Vortex lattices, arising from repulsive inter-vortex interactions, are a canonical example of emergent phenomena. Recent studies on the cuprates have drawn attention to the appearance of competing correlations within vortex cores. This…
Motivated by recent discovery of cobalt oxide and organic superconductors, we apply an effective model with strong antiferromagnetic and superconducting pairing interaction to a related lattice structure. It is found that the…
The current pattern in the mixed state of high-$T_{c}$ superconductors is studied in the U(1) mean field theory of the t-J model. Our findings are the following. 1) In the absence of antiferromagnetism a robust staggered current pattern…
We theoretically investigate the vortex state of the cuprate high-temperature superconductors in the presence of magnetic fields. Assuming the recently derived nonlinear $\sigma$-model for fluctuations in the pseudogap phase, we find that…
In the past several years, we have developed a theory for the underdoped cuprates in collaboration with X.-G. Wen, based on an SU(2) formulation of the t-J model. In this formulation, the staggered flux state plays a central role as the…
Understanding how superconductivity competes with other electronic phases in cuprates requires direct access to the hidden non-superconducting low temperature phase, for which Abrikosov vortices provide a unique local probe. We map the…
The local density of states (LDOS) at one of the vortex lattice cores in a high Tc superconductor is studied by using a self-consistent mean field theory including interactions for both antiferromagnetism (AF) and d-wave superconductivity…
We studied electronic states in vortex cores of slightly overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. We have found that they have stripe structures with a 4a0 width extending along the Cu-O bond directions. Vortex core…
The quasiparticle states found in the vortex core of a high-T$_{\rm{c}}$ cuprate superconductor may be probed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Results of such experiments have revealed typical spectra that are quite different from what…
In underdoped cuprates the normal state is highly anomalous and is characterized as a pseudogap phase. The question of how to describe the ``normal'' core of a superconducting vortex is an outstanding open problem. We show that the SU(2)…
The origin of the vortex-core states in s-wave and d_{x^2-y^2}-wave superconductors is investigated by means of some selected numerical experiments. By relaxing the self-consistency condition in the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations and tuning…
We analyze the recent vortex core spectroscopy experiments in cuprate superconductor and discuss what can be learned from them about the nature of the ground state in these compounds. We argue that the data are inconsistent with the…
We investigate the equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of the core region of vortices in layered superconductors. We discuss the electronic structure of singly and doubly quantized vortices for both s-wave and d-wave pairing symmetry.…
Coexistence of antiferromagnetic order with superconductivity in many families of newly discovered iron-based superconductors has renewed interest to this old problem. Due to competition between the two types of order, one can expect…
The single vortex problem in a strongly correlated bosonic system is investigated self-consistently within the mean-field theory of the Bose-Hubbard model. Near the superfluid-Mott transition, the vortex core has a tendency toward the…
We present a detailed study of vortex core spectroscopy in slightly overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 using a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope. Inside the vortex core we observe a four-fold symmetric modulation of the local density of…
Superconductivity occurs in the proximity of other competing orders in a wide variety of materials. Such competing phases may reveal themselves when superconductivity is locally suppressed by a magnetic field in the core of a vortex. We…
Detailed tunneling spectroscopy of vortex core states can provide important insight to the momentum structure of the superconducting order parameter. We present a theoretical study of vortex bound states in iron-based superconductors by use…
Based on the SU(2) lattice gauge theory formulation of the t-J model, we discuss possible signature of the unit cell doubling associated with the staggered flux (SF) state in the lightly doped spin liquid. Although the SF state appears only…
