Abstract
The vortex states in electron-doped high-Tc superconductors are studied theoretically at the mean-field approach and based on the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. The local density of states is calculated, through which the in-gap bound states are revealed. They are robust at the sites around the vortex core. In the underdoped region where the antiferromagnetic order and the superconducting order coexist, the in-gap peaks are lying symmetric with respect to the Fermi energy, while the peak intensities at the negative energy are much stronger. A stripe-type modulation is revealed for the spin-resolved local density of states. As the doping density increases to the optimal or over-doped region, the long-range antiferromagnetic order disappears, and the two in-gap peaks merge to one single peak. The peak position is near the Fermi energy. Our results indicate that the vortex states may be used to detect the signature of the antiferromagnetic order in electron-doped high-Tc superconductors.
