Tunneling Current into the Vortex Lattice States of s- and p-Wave Superconductors

Abstract

The tunneling current between the metallic tip of a scanning microscope and s-wave and p-wave superconductors in a quantizing magnetic field is investigated. The differential conductance is calculated both as a function of bias voltage at the centre of the vortex line and for varying position of the scanning tunneling microscope tip at a stable voltage.
