摘要: The superconducting-vortex-core spectra show a zero-bias peak which splits within coherence length of the core. Further away from core these split peaks merge gradually with gap edge and give direct local measure superfluid velocity. vortex-core states are imaged both at Fermi energy just below to reveal two different sixfold star-shaped structures. anisotropy size images may be consequence crystalline band structure its charge-density-wave as well interaction neighboring vortices Abrikosov flux lattice.
