Vortex core structure of a two-gap superconductor — •Andreas Gumann, Siegfried Graser, Thomas Dahm und Nils Schopohl — Universität Tübingen, Lehrstuhl für Theoretische Festkörperphysik, Auf der Morgenstelle 14, 72076 Tübingen, Germany

The recently discovered superconductor MgB₂ is believed to be a superconductor with two gaps. A single vortex line in such a system thus consists of two components, which are coupled to each other. Here, we present theoretical calculations of the core structure of such a vortex. Recently, it has been argued that Ginzburg-Landau theory cannot give a sufficient description of this situation. Therefore, we use quasiclassical Eilenberger theory employing the Riccati method. We present results for the self-consistently determined gap function and the local density of states in the vicinity of the vortex in the clean limit.
