Abstract
CeRh2As2, a heavy-fermion superconductor discovered in 2021, exhibits two distinct superconducting phases under a c-axis magnetic field. This unconventional phase diagram has been attributed to the local inversion symmetry breaking at the Ce sites. At low magnetic fields, a conventional even-parity spin-singlet superconducting state is realized, whereas at higher fields, an odd-parity spin-singlet superconducting state, in which the order parameter alternates sign between neighboring Ce layers, becomes stabilized. In this study we employ a quasiclassical approach to investigate the vortex states of bilayer superconductors with locally broken inversion symmetry. We calculate the phase diagram and the local density of states (LDOS) in the vortex lattice state and find that the pairing symmetry of different superconducting states is clearly manifested in the peak structure of LDOS at the vortex core. Since LDOS is experimentally observable, our work provides a pathway for experimental verification of the superconducting parity transition in CeRh2As2.
