Numerical Study of Transition to Stripe Phases in High Temperature Superconductors Under a Strong Magnetic Field
Abstract
The nature of spin density wave (SDW) and charge density wave (CDW) in the mixed state of high Tc superconductors (HTS) is investigated by using the self-consistent Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations and an effective model Hamiltonian with competing SDW and d-wave superconductivity interactions. We show that there exists a critical onsite Coulomb interaction Uc. For optimally doped sample, a two dimensional SDW and CDW modulations are induced for U < Uc while SDW and CDW orders become antiferromagnetic (AF) and charge stripes for U > Uc. These stripe orders are stabilized and enhanced near the vortex cores. The wavelengths of the AF stripes and charge stripes are found respectively to be 8 a and 4 a with a as the lattice constant. We show that our results could be applied to understand several recent experiments on HTS.
