摘要:

本文报道了$s+id$超导体在磁场作用下的时间反转对称破缺的特征涡旋组态。处于$s+id$状态的涡旋倾向于在$s-$和$d-$波凝聚体之间具有相反相位的缠绕。我们发现,这一独特的功能与竞争之间的$s-$和$d-$波对称性的结果在三个不同的类别的涡位形。当$s-$或$d-$凝聚绝对占优势时,涡旋形成常规晶格。然而,当一种凝聚物相对占主导地位时,涡旋组织在链中,表现出skyrmionic字符,将$s \pm id$序参量的手性组分分离成链内和链外的域。这种skyrmionic链被发现即使在高磁场下也是稳定的。当$s-$和$d-$凝聚体具有相当的强度时,涡旋将核分裂成两个手性组分以形成成熟的skyrmion,即具有整数拓扑电荷的无核拓扑结构,组织在晶格中。我们提供了所有状态的特征磁场分布,使它们的识别,例如扫描霍尔探针和扫描SQUID实验。这些独特的涡旋状态与高T $_c$铜酸盐和铁基超导体相关,其中竞争配对对称性的相对强度预计将通过温度和/或掺杂水平进行调整,并且可以帮助区分$s+is$和$s+id$超导相。

英文摘要:

We report characteristic vortex configurations in $s+id$ superconductors with time reversal symmetry breaking, exposed to magnetic field. A vortex in the $s+id$ state tends to have an opposite phase winding between $s-$ and $d-$wave condensates. We find that this peculiar feature together with the competition between $s-$ and $d-$wave symmetry results in three distinct classes of vortical configurations. When either $s-$ or $d-$ condensate absolutely dominates, vortices form a conventional lattice. However, when one condensate is relatively dominant, vortices organize in chains that exhibit skyrmionic character, separating the chiral components of the $s \pm id$ order parameter into domains within and outside the chain. Such skyrmionic chains are found stable even at high magnetic field. When $s-$ and $d-$ condensates have a comparable strength, vortices split cores in two chiral components to form full-fledged skyrmions, i.e. coreless topological structures with an integer topological charge, organized in a lattice. We provide characteristic magnetic field distributions of all states, enabling their identification in e.g. scanning Hall probe and scanning SQUID experiments. These unique vortex states are relevant for high-T$_c$ cuprate and iron-based superconductors, where the relative strength of competing pairing symmetries is expected to be tuned by temperature and/or doping level, and can help distinguish $s+is$ and $s+id$ superconducting phases.
