Abstract: | Based on the ?-mapping theory, we derive a new rigorous equation describing the distribution of the magnetic field for vortices in a two-gap superconductor, of which the so-called modified London equation is just a special case in a one-flavor limit. We explicitly investigate the London penetration depth, the Meissner and mixed states and Josephson effect. A magnetic flux quantization condition for vortices in a two-gap superconductor is also derived, from which it follows that in a two-gap superconductor there exist vortices which carry an arbitrary fraction of magnetic flux quantum. The branch processes during the evolution of the vortices in a two-gap superconductor are discussed. |
