摘要
We investigate the magnetic response of nematic superconductors, presenting a new approach to find vortex and skyrmion structures beyond symmetry-constraining Ansatze. Using this approach we show that nematic superconductors form distinctive skyrmion stripes. Our approach lends itself to accurate determination of the field distribution for muon spin rotation probes. We use this to show that the skyrmion structure manifests as a double peak in the field distribution, markedly different from the signal of standard vortex lattices.
