High-precision penetration-depth measurement of YBa2Cu3O7-δ as a function of oxygen content

Description

A mutual-inductance technique has been used for the high accuracy determination of the absolute London penetration depth in YBa2Cu3O7-δ thin films. In order to study the influence of the CuO chains, the oxygen content has been varied in a wide range. At low temperatures the penetration depths obey power laws that depend on the sample but not at all on its oxygen depletion. This finding is best explained in terms of d-wave pairing with impurity scattering located in the CuO2 planes. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
