Abstract
We derive microscopically the Ginzburg-Landau equations of a d-wave superconductor. The structure of a single vortex in such a superconductor is determined by solving these equations. The most interesting feature of the vortex structure is the opposite winding s-wave component induced near the vortex core. Far away from the center of the vortex core, the winding of s-wave component becomes more complicated and the magnitude shows strong anisotropy.
