N2 - As an example of the skyrmion lattice, the structure of Mermin-Ho vortex lattice in superfluids H3 e is studied by self-consistent Eilenberger theory and by Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory. We identify how the intrinsic orbital angular momentum l of p -wave Cooper pairs contributes to spatial structures of the pair potential, current flow, and quasiparticle states. There are two types of vortices depending on the l direction relative to rotation. Only one of them has zero-energy bound states appearing even in coreless vortices due to intrinsic topological reasons.
