Abstract

The novel vortex phase and nature of the double transition field are investigated by two-component Ginzburg-Landau theory in a situation where fourfold-twofold symmetric superconducting double transition occurs. The deformation from 60° triangular vortex lattice and a possibility of the vortex sheet structure are discussed. In the presence of the gradient coupling, the transition changes to a crossover at finite field. These characters are important to identify the multiple superconducting phase in PrOs4Sb12.
