الوصف: Ising spin-orbital coupling is usually easy to identify in the Ising superconductors via an in-plane critical field enhancement, but we show that the Ising spin-orbital coupling also manifests in the vortex physics for perpendicular magnetic fields. By self-consistently solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations of a model Hamiltonian built on the honeycomb lattice with the Ising spin-orbital coupling pertinent to the transition metal dichalcogenides, we numerically investigate the local breaking of the spin and sublattice degeneracies in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. It is revealed that the ferromagnetic orders are induced inside the vortex core region by the Ising spin-orbital coupling. The induced magnetic orders are antiphase in terms of their opposite polarizations inside the two nearest-neighbor vortices with one of the two polarizations coming dominantly from one sublattice sites, implying the local breaking of the spin and sublattice degeneracies. The finite-energy peaks of the local-density-of-states for spin-up and spin-down in-gap states are split and shifted oppositely by the Ising spin-orbital coupling, and the relative shifts of them on sublattices $A$ and $B$ are also of opposite algebraic sign. The calculated results and the proposed scenario may not only serve as experimental signatures for identifying the Ising spin-orbital coupling in the Ising superconductors, but also be prospective in manipulation of electron spins in motion through the orbital effect in the superconducting vortex states.
