چکیده

We present an approach that allows the reconstruction of the zero-field magnetic penetration depth λ0 based on the results of muon-spin-rotation (μSR) experiments conducted in a superconductor in the vortex state. It was successfully applied to describe the μSR experiments in optimally doped (BiPb)2(SrLa)2CuO6+δ (OP Bi2201). We found that in unconventional d-wave superconductors (such as OP Bi2201) only at relatively low magnetic fields [B/Bc2≲10−3; Bc2 is the upper critical field] the effective penetration depth λeff, obtained in μSR experiment, is a good measure of λ0. The high-field data need to be evaluated accounting for both the nonlinear and the nonlocal corrections.

Mixed-state penetration depths in s-wave and d-wave superconductors

We report on a microscopic calculation of the current and magnetic field distribution in the mixed state of model s-wave and d-wave superconductors. For the d-wave case, we find that corrections to London theory are important at fields small compared to Hc2. The field distribution is influenced by both superfluid-velocity dependence and non-locality in the current response function of the mixed...

Detection of time-reversal symmetry breaking in the noncentrosymmetric superconductor Re6Zr using muon-spin spectroscopy.

We have investigated the superconducting state of the noncentrosymmetric compound Re6Zr using magnetization, heat capacity, and muon-spin relaxation or rotation (μSR) measurements. Re6Zr has a superconducting transition temperature, Tc=6.75±0.05  K. Transverse-field μSR experiments, used to probe the superfluid density, suggest an s-wave character for the superconducting gap. However, zero and ...

Field Dependent Superfluid Density in the Optimally Doped SmFeAsO1−xFy Superconductor

The magnetic-field dependence of the in-plane magnetic penetration depth �ab for optimally doped SmFeAsO1−xFy was investigated by combining torque magnetometry, SQUID magnetometry, and muon-spin rotation. The results obtained from these techniques show all a pronounced decrease of the superfluid density �s��ab− 2 as the field is increased to 1.4 T. This behaviour of �s is analysed within a two-...

Unconventional superconductivity in Y5Rh6Sn18 probed by muon spin relaxation

Conventional superconductors are robust diamagnets that expel magnetic fields through the Meissner effect. It would therefore be unexpected if a superconducting ground state would support spontaneous magnetics fields. Such broken time-reversal symmetry states have been suggested for the high-temperature superconductors, but their identification remains experimentally controversial. We present m...

Nonlinear response and scaling law in the vortex state of d-wave superconductors

– We study the field dependence of the quasi-particle density of states, the thermodynamics and the transport properties in the vortex state of d-wave superconductors when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the conducting plane, specially for the low field and the low temperature compared to the upper critical field and transition temperature, respectively, H/Hc2 ≪ 1 and T/Tc ≪ 1.
