Fractional vortex array realized at twin boundary in a nematic superconductor

Abstract
Within a framework of two-component Ginzburg-Landau theory as a model of superconducting FeSe, we study the spatial structure of vortex states in the presence of nematic twin boundary in an s + d wave nematic superconductor. The result shows that the orientation of the nematic vortex core is rotated 90 degrees across the twin boundary, and just at the twin boundary the nematic vortex becomes two fractional vortices with the topological nature of core-down and core-up merons. The exotic vortex states may be confirmed by observing the time evolution of vortex flow when the vortices are trapped in and escape from the nematic twin boundary.
