A recent dirty-limit version of the Gor'kov theory is used to calculate numerically the self-consistert structure and free energy of isolated vortices and of the vortex lattice in the circular cell approximation at arbitrary temperature and Ginzburg-Landau parameter k. This yields the lower critical field H/sub c1/, the magnetization curve, the electronic specific heat, and the density of states at the Fermi surface. The results are discussed and compared with experiments. (auth)
