Abstract

We present the first demonstration of vortices in an electron-type cuprate superconductor, the highest Tc(=43 K) electron-type cuprate Sr0.9La0.1CuO2. Our spatially resolved quasiparticle tunneling spectra reveal a hidden low-energy pseudogap inside the vortex core and unconventional spectral evolution with temperature and magnetic field. These results cannot be easily explained by the scenario of pure superconductivity in the ground state of high-Tc superconductivity.
