Self-consistent electronic structure of multiquantum vortices in superconductors at Tll T_c
read the original abstract
We investigate the multiquantum vortex states in type-II superconductor both in "clean" and "dirty" regimes defined by impurity scattering rate. Within quasiclassical approach we calculate self-consistently the order parameter distributions and electronic local density of states (LDOS) profiles. In the clean case we find the low temperature vortex core anomaly predicted analytically in G.E. Volovik, JETP Lett. {\bf 58}, 455 (1993) and obtain the interference patterns in LDOS distributions analogous to found previously in the framework of Bogolubov-de Gennes theory. In dirty regime the multiquantum vortices feature a peculiar plateau in the zero-energy LDOS profile which can be considered as an experimental hallmark of multiquantum vortex formation in mesoscopic superconductors.
