The a-b plane microwave surface impedance of a high-quality Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 single crystal ͑T c ഠ 93 K͒ has been measured at 14.4, 24.6, and 34.7 GHz. The surface resistance at low temperature is the lowest yet reported, is comparable with the best YBa 2 Cu 3 O 72d data, and has a characteristic v 2 frequency dependence. The change in penetration depth, Dl ab ͑T ͒, has a strong linear term at low temperature which is consistent with a gap with line nodes on the Fermi surface. The real part of the microwave conductivity displays a broad peak at low temperature, similar to that observed in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 72d . [S0031-9007(96)00735-1]
The electrodynamic properties of the quasi-two-dimensional heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 have been investigated by microwave surface impedance measurements over a wide range of microwave frequencies and temperatures. We derive a value penetration depth lambda(0) approximately 190 nm, with a strong linear term in the temperature dependence of lambda(T) below T(c)/3, consistent with a superconducting gap with line nodes. The real part of the conductivity displays a broad peak at low temperatures consistent with a decreased scattering rate of almost 2 orders of magnitude below T(c). CeCoIn5 has remarkably similar properties to those of the high-T(c) cuprates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
