The London penetration depth λ is the basic length scale for electromagnetic behavior in a superconductor. Precise measurements of λ as a function of temperature, field and impurity scattering have been instrumental in revealing the nature of the order parameter and pairing interactions in a variety of superconductors discovered over the past decades. Here we recount our development of the tunnel-diode resonator technique to measure λ as function of temperature and field in small single crystal… Expand

Penetration depth study of superconducting gap structure of 2H-NbSe2.
Measurements of the temperature dependence of both in-plane and out-of-plane penetration depths in 2H-NbSe2 suggest that the gap structure is not simply related to the weak electron-phonon coupling on the Se sheet and is therefore important for microscopic models of anisotropic superconductivity in this compound.

The design of a setup for precision TDR measurements in a dilution refrigerator down to ∼40 mK with a 14 T superconducting magnet is described and the key features are the separated electronics components and the placement of the most field sensitive parts in the field-compensated zone far from the center of solenoid as well as the heat-sinking at a higher temperature stage.

It is argued that nonlocal effects, rather than impurity scattering, can explain the observed T2 dependence instead of the T-linear behavior expected for line nodes, and suggest that the gap function has nodes, inconsistent with candidate p-wave states. Expand
