Magnetic penetration depth inRbOs2O6studied by muon spin rotation

Abstract: Measurements of the magnetic field penetration depth λ in the pyrochlore superconductor RbOs2O6 (Tc ≃ 6.3 K) were carried out by means of the muon-spin-rotation (µSR) technique. At low temperatures λ −2 (T ) saturates and becomes constant below T ≃ 0.2Tc, in agreement with what is expected for weak-coupled s-wave BCS superconductors. The value of λ at T = 0 was found to be in the range of 250 nm to 300 nm. µSR and equilibrium magnetization measurements both reveal that at low temperatures λ is almost (at the l… Show more

“…Extensive study has been carried out on the three -pyrochlore oxides in order to elucidate the nature of their superconductivity. For the superconducting gap symmetry, most experimental results indicate that it is of the s-wave BCS type, [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] suggesting conventional phonon-mediated superconductivity; there is no evidence of an alternative ''glue'' such as magnetic fluctuations, which are sometimes found in an exotic superconductor with a nodal gap. Interestingly, pronounced variations of various properties have been observed over the series.…”

“…Subsequently, superconductivity was also discovered in the pyrochlore oxides KOs 2 O 6 (T c ≃ 9.6 K) [56], RbOs 2 O 6 (T c ≃ 6.3 K) [51], and CsOs 2 O 6 (T c ≃ 3.3 K) [57]. Specific heat [58,59], magnetization, muon-spin-rotation (µSR) studies of the magnetic penetration depth [60,61], and the pressure effect measurements [60] on RbOs 2 O 6 reveal consistent evidence for meanfield behavior, except close to T c , where thermal fluctuations are observed. Indeed, the analysis of extended measurements of the temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth λ strongly suggest that RbOs 2 O 6 falls in the universality class of charged superconductors because charged critical fluctuations were found to dominate the temperature dependence of λ near T c [62].…”
