The Structure of a Vortex in the t-J Model
  We study the single-vortex solution of the t-J model within resonating-valence-bond (RVB) mean-field theory. We find two types of vortex cores, insulating and metallic, depending on the parameters of the model. The pairing order parameter near both cores have $d_{x^2 -y^2}+i\eta d_{xy}$ symmetry. For some range of $t/J$ the calculated tunneling spectrum of the metallic vortex core agrees qualitatively with the STM tunneling data for BSCCO.
