Nodeless superconductivity in the infinite-layer electron-doped Sr_0.9La_0.1CuO_2 cuprate superconductor

arXiv:0803.3200 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.77.184512

Abstract

We report on measurements of the in-plane magnetic penetration depth λ_{ab} in the infinite-layer electron-doped high-temperature cuprate superconductor Sr_0.9La_0.1CuO_2 by means of muon-spin rotation. The observed temperature and magnetic field dependences of λ_{ab} are consistent with the presence of a substantial s-wave component in the superconducting order parameter in good agreement with the results of tunneling, specific heat, and small-angle neutron scattering experiments.
