The superconducting penetration depth, $lambda(T)$, has been measured in RFeAsO$_{0.9}$F$_{0.1}$ (R=La,Nd) single crystals (R-1111). In Nd-1111, we find an upturn in $lambda(T)$ upon cooling and attribute it to the paramagnetism of the Nd ions, similar to the case of the electron-doped cuprate Nd-Ce-Cu-O. After the correction for paramagnetism, the London penetration depth variation is found to follow a power-law behavior, $Delta lambda_L(T)propto T^{2}$ at low temperatures. The same $T^2$ variation of $lambda(T)$ was found in non-magnetic La-1111 crystals. Analysis of the superfluid density and of penetration depth anisotropy over the full temperature range is consistent with two-gap superconductivity. Based on this and on our previous work, we conclude that both the RFeAsO (1111) and BaFe$_2$As$_2$ (122) families of pnictide superconductors exhibit unconventional two-gap superconductivity.

The London penetration depth, $lambda(T)$, has been measured in several single crystals of Ba(Fe$_{0.93}$Co$_{0.07}$)$_2$As$_2$. Thermodynamic, electromagnetic, and structural characterization measurements confirm that these crystals are of excellent quality. The observed low temperature variation of $lambda(T)$ follows a power-law, $Delta lambda (T) sim T^n$ with $n=2.4 pm 0.1$, indicating the existence of normal quasiparticles down to at least $0.02T_c$. This is in contrast to recent penetration depth measurements on single crystals of NdFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_x$ and SmFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_x$, which indicate an anisotropic but nodeless gap. We propose that a more three-dimensional character in the electronic structure of Ba(Fe$_{0.93}$Co$_{0.07}$)$_2$As$_2$ may lead to an anisotropic $s-$wave gap with point nodes that would explain the observed $lambda(T)$.
The temperature dependence of the in-plane, lambda_{parallel}, and interplane, lambda_{perp}, London penetration depth was measured in the metal-free all-organic superconductor beta-ET (see title) ($T_c approx$ 5.2 K). lambda_{parallel} ~T^3 up to 0. 5 Tc, a power law previously observed only in materials thought to be p-wave superconductors. lambda_{perp} is larger than the sample dimensions down to the lowest temperatures (0.35 K), implying an anisotropy of lambda_{perp}/lambda_{parallel} ~ 400-800.
Temperature and magnetic field dependent measurements of the microwave surface impedance of superconducting LaFeAsO$_{0.9}$F$_{0.1}$ (Tc $approx$ 26K) reveal a very large upper critical field ($B_{rm c2} approx 56$T) and a large value of the depinnin g frequency ($f_{0}approx 6$GHz); together with an upper limit for the effective London penetration depth, $lambda_{rm eff} le 200 rm nm$, our results indicate a strong similarity between this system and the high-$T_{rm c}$ superconducting cuprates.
F-substituted ROBiS2 (R = La, Ce, Nd) superconducting single crystals with different F concentration were grown successfully using CsCl/KCl flux. All the obtained single crystals had a plate-like shape with a well-developed ab-plane of 1-2 mm in size . The flux components of Cs, K, and Cl were not detected in the obtained single crystals by electron probe microanalysis. The grown single crystals of F-substituted LaOBiS2 and CeOBiS2 showed superconducting at about 3 K while the Tc of the F-substituted NdOBiS2 exhibited approximately 5 K. The superconducting anisotropy of the single crystals of F-substituted LaOBiS2 and NdOBiS2 was estimated to be 30-45 according to the effective mass model whereas those values were 13-21 for the F-substituted CeOBiS2 single crystals. The F-substituted CeOBiS2 single crystals exhibited magnetic order at about 7 K that apparently coexisted with superconductivity below around 3 K.
