Description

We report on transverse field (300 mT) μ+SR measurements in the Chevrel phase superconductors SnMo6SySe8-y (y = 1, 4, 7, 8) and PbMo6SzSe8-z (z = 4, 8) using the field cooling procedure (from room temperature down to 2.2 K). The London penetration depth λL was determined by the analysis of the fits with a single Gaussian relaxation function and by comparing the measured field distributions with calculated ones, where a broadening due to small random displacements of the vortices was taken into account.
