Abstract
London penetration depth was investigated as a function of dc magnetic field in the Meissner state of . At low temperatures, changes linearly in , which is in contrast to the behavior observed in conventional superconductors. With increasing temperature, systematic rounding around zero field was observed. Together with the comparative study for a conventional superconductor Si, it is suggested that the superconducting state of is unconventional. These findings are the first confirmation of a recent new theoretical prediction for -wave superconductors.
