R. Heeb et Df. Agterberg, Ginzburg-Landau theory for a p-wave Sr2RuO4 superconductor: Vortex core structure and extended London theory, PHYS REV B, 59(10), 1999, pp. 7076-7082
Based on a two-dimensional odd-parity superconducting order parameter for S
r2RuO4 with p-wave symmetry, we investigate the single vortex and vortex la
ttice structure of the mixed phase near H-c1. Ginzburg-Landau calculations
for a single vortex show a fourfold structure with an orientation depending
on the microscopic Fermi surface properties. The corresponding extended Lo
ndon theory is developed to determine the vortex lattice structure and we f
ind near H-c1 a centered rectangular vortex lattice. As the field is increa
sed from H-c1 this lattice continuously deforms until a square vortex latti
ce is achieved. In the centered rectangular phase the field distribution, a
s measurable through mu SR experiments, exhibits a characteristic two peak
structure (similar to that predicted in high temperature and borocarbide su
perconductors). [S0163-1829(99)02910-0].
