Gm. Luke et al., MAGNETIC-FIELD PENETRATION DEPTH IN SINGLE-CRYSTAL LA1.85SR0.15CUO4 AND ND1.85CE0.15CUO4, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 282, 1997, pp. 1465-1466
We have measured the magnetic field penetration depth in single crysta
ls of La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 and Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4 using the technique of muo
n spin rotation. In La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 we observe a strong linear temper
ature dependence of lambda(T --> 0), characteristic of a d-wave pairin
g state. The absolute value of the penetration depth in electron-doped
Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4 is comparable to that in the hole-doped La1.85Sr0.15
CuO4.
