Nodeless superconductivity in the infinite-layer electron-doped cuprate superconductor Sr_(0.9)La_(0.1)CuO_2

摘要

We report on measurements of the in-plane magnetic penetration depth λ_(ab) in the infinite-layer electron-doped high-temperature cuprate superconductor Sr_(0.9)La_(0.1) CuO_2 by means of muon-spin rotation. The observed temperature and magnetic field dependences of λ_(ab) are consistent with the presence of a substantial s-wave component in the superconducting order parameter, in good agreement with the results of tunneling, specific heat, and small-angle neutron scattering experiments.
