Abstract

The spatial field distribution in the flux line lattice state of La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) has been studied by muon spin rotation (μSR). In single-crystalline LSCO samples with x = 0.13, 0.15, and 0.19, we have observed large vortex cores at low magnetic induction (≤ 0.5 T). The possibility of observing a field-induced antiferromagnetic component associated with such large vortex cores is discussed.
