K. Machida et al., VORTEX CORE STRUCTURE AND POSSIBLE PAIRING MIXTURE IN D-WAVE SUPERCONDUCTORS, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 263(1-4), 1996, pp. 428-430
The vortex core structure in a d-wave superconductor is analyzed by so
lving the quasi-classical Eilenberger equation self-consistently. The
pair function, current and magnetic field distributions around an isol
ated vortex are found to break circular symmetry and show four-fold sy
mmetry, reflecting the internal degrees of freedom in d-wave pairing.
