Abstract
The local density of states (LDOS) at the vortex lattice cores in a high- superconductor is studied by using a self-consistent mean-field theory including interactions for both antiferromagnetism (AF) and -wave superconductivity (DSC). In a zero-field optimally doped sample the AF order is completely suppressed while DSC prevails. In the mixed state, we show that the local AF-like spin density wave order appears near the vortex core and acts as an effective local magnetic field on electrons via Zeeman coupling. As a result, the LDOS at the core exhibits a double-peak structure near the Fermi level that is in good agreement with recent scanning tunneling microscopy observations.
