Model for vortex-core tunneling spectroscopy of chiral p-wave superconductors via odd-frequency pairing states.

2009 
The local density of states is studied theoretically in terms of the odd-frequency (odd-ω) Cooper pairing induced around a vortex core. We find that a zero energy peak in the density of states at the vortex center is robust against nonmagnetic impurities in a chiral p-wave superconductor owing to an odds-wave pair amplitude. We suggest how to discriminate a spin-triplet pairing symmetry and spatial chiral-domain structure by scanning tunneling spectroscopy via oddpair amplitudes inside vortex cores
