Superconducting Vortex with Antiferromagnetic Core

Abstract

We show that a superconducting vortex in underdoped high Tc superconductors could have an antiferromagnetic core. This type of vortex configuration arises as a topological solution in the recently constructed SO(5) nonlinear sigma model and in Ginzburg-Landau theory with competing antiferromagnetic and superconducting order parameters. Experimental detection of this type of vortex by μ SR and neutron scattering is proposed.
