Abstract
Abstract We develop an efficient finite-element method to solve the d -wave time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations. It is applied to study the equilibrium vortex structure in bulk low and higher κ superconductors as well as in finite-size samples. When the temperature is well below the critical temperature T c , we reproduce the earlier result that an oblique lattice is more stable than the conventional triangular lattice; while near T c the triangular lattice is most stable. Also, the effects of a twin boundary on the vortices are examined. This extended finite-element method proves to be flexible to deal with various types of boundary conditions.
