Alternating para/diamagnetic domains in a p-wave superconductor

Abstract

The mesoscopic one-dimensional magnetic texture caused by small Zeeman coupling in a p-wave superconductor in the magnetic field is found. The field orientation is opposite on the two sides of the texture and the magnitude can be even smaller than H-c1. The texture is not built from various singular topological defects, like vortices, as previously found in the simplest three-component Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductors.
