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 T_c 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 U_c. For optimally doped sample, a two dimensional SDW and CDW modulations are induced for U < U_c while SDW and CDW orders become antiferromagnetic (AF) and charge stripes for U > U_c. 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.
