Abstract

We report an improved measurement of the temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth in sintered YBa2Cu3O77 using muon spin rotation. The effective isotropic average of the magnetic penetration depth (λ) is estimated from the second moment of the field distribution in the vortex state in an external field of 15kG. The low temperature behaviour of λ is still consistent with an s-wave pairing mechanism although there are deviations from the conventional BCS-like behaviour for T/Tc > 0.2.
