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 dwave condensates. We find that this peculiar feature together with the competition between s and dwave 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±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-Tc 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.

天体离子链和晶格ins + id超导体

我们在 s+一世d具有时间反转对称性破坏的超导体,暴露于磁场中。漩涡s+一世d 状态趋向于在 s-d-波凝结。我们发现,这一独特功能与s-d-波对称性导致三种不同的涡旋构型。什么时候s- 要么 d-冷凝水绝对占主导地位,涡流形成常规晶格。但是,当一种冷凝物相对占主导地位时,涡旋会组织成具有天体离子特征的链,从而将旋涡的手性成分分开。s±一世d将参数排序到链内外的域中。发现即使在高磁场下,这种空中离子链也是稳定的。什么时候s-d-冷凝水具有可比的强度,涡旋将核分裂成两个手性组分,形成成熟的天空粒子,即无整数拓扑电荷的无核拓扑结构,以晶格组织。我们提供所有状态的特征性磁场分布,从而可以在扫描霍尔探头和扫描SQUID实验中识别它们。这些独特的涡旋状态与高T有关C 铜酸盐和铁基超导体,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,并有助于区分 s+一世ss+一世d 超导阶段。
