Magnetic penetration depth, $lambda_{m}$, was measured as a function of temperature and magnetic field in single crystals of low carrier density superconductor YPtBi by using a tunnel-diode oscillator technique. Measurements in zero DC magnetic field yield London penetration depth, $lambda_{L}left(Tright)$, but in the applied field the signal includes the Campbell penetration depth, $lambda_{C}left(Tright)$, which is the characteristic length of the attenuation of small excitation field, $H_{ac}$, into the Abrikosov vortex lattice due to its elasticity. Whereas the magnetic field dependent $lambda_C$ exhibit $lambda_{C}sim B^{p}$ with $p=1/2$ in most of the conventional and unconventional superconductors, we found that $papprox 0.23ll1/2$ in YPtBi due to rapid suppression of the pinning strength. From the measured $lambda_{C}(T,H)$, the critical current density is $j_{c}approx40,mathrm{A}/mathrm{cm^{2}}$ at 75 mK. This is orders of magnitude lower than that of conventional superconductors of comparable $T_{c}$. Since the pinning centers (lattice defects) and vortex structure are not expected to be much different in YPtBi, this observation is direct evidence of the low density of the Cooper pairs because $j_{c}propto n_s$.

A true critical current density, $j_{c}$, as opposite to commonly measured relaxed persistent (Bean) current, $j_{B}$, was extracted from the Campbell penetration depth, $lambda_{C}(T,H)$ measured in single crystals of LiFeAs. The effective pinning p
otential is non-parabolic, which follows from the magnetic field - dependent Labusch parameter $alpha$. At the equilibrium (upon field - cooling), $alpha(H)$ is non-monotonic, but it is monotonic at a finite gradient of the vortex density. This behavior leads to a faster magnetic relaxation at the lower fields and provides a natural emph{dynamic} explanation for the fishtail (second peak) effect. We also find the evidence for strong pinning at the lower fields. The inferred field dependence of the pinning potential is consistent with the evolution from strong pinning, through collective pinning and, eventually, to a disordered vortex lattice. The values of $j_{c}(2text{K}) simeq 2times10^{6}$ A/cm$^{2}$ provide an upper estimate of the current carrying capability of LiFeAs. Overall, vortex behavior of almost isotropic, fully-gapped LiFeAs is very similar to highly anisotropic d-wave cuprate superconductors, the similarity that requires further studies in order to understand unconventional superconductivity in cuprates and pnictides.
Type-II superconductors owe their magnetic and transport properties to vortex pinning, the immobilization of flux quanta through material inhomogeneities or defects. Characterizing the potential energy landscape for vortices, the pinning landscape (o
r short, pinscape), is of great technological importance. Besides measurement of the critical current density $j_c$ and of creep rates $S$, the $ac$ magnetic response provides valuable information on the pinscape which is different from that obtained through $j_c$ or $S$, with the Campbell penetration depth $lambda_{rm scriptscriptstyle C}$ defining a characteristic quantity well accessible in an experiment. Here, we derive a microscopic expression for the Campbell penetration depth $lambda_{rm scriptscriptstyle C}$ using strong pinning theory. Our results explain the dependence of $lambda_{rm scriptscriptstyle C}$ on the state preparation of the vortex system and the appearance of hysteretic response. Analyzing different pinning models, metallic or insulating inclusions as well as $delta T_c$- and $delta ell$-pinning, we discuss the behavior of the Campbell length for different vortex state preparations within the phenomenological $H$-$T$ phase diagram and compare our results with recent experiments.
Superconductivity in the topological non-trivial Dirac semimetal PdTe$_2$ was recently shown to be type-I. We here report measurements of the relative magnetic penetration depth, $ Delta lambda$, on several single crystals using a high precision tunn
el diode oscillator technique. The temperature variation $Delta lambda (T)$ follows an exponential function for $T/T_c < 0.4$, consistent with a fully-gapped superconducting state and weak or moderately coupling superconductivity. By fitting the data we extract a $lambda (0)$-value of $sim 500$~nm. The normalized superfluid density is in good agreement with the computed curve for a type-I superconductor with nonlocal electrodynamics. Small steps are observed in $Delta lambda (T)$, which possibly relates to a locally lower $T_c$ due to defects in the single crystalline sample. single crystalline sample.
The crystal structure and numerous normal and superconducting state properties of layered tetragonal (P4/nmm) LaFeAsO, with F-doping of 11 %, are reported. Resistivity measurements give an onset transition temperature Tc = 28.2 K, and low field magne
tic susceptibility data indicate bulk superconductivity. In applied magnetic field, analysis of the resistive transition results in a critical field Hc2 = 30 T and a coherence length 35 A. An upper limit for the electron carrier concentration of 1 x 10^21 cm-3 is inferred from Hall data just above Tc. Strong electron-electron correlations are suggested from temperature-dependent resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity data. Anomalies near Tc are observed in both Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity data.
We report measurements of the temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth in different quality polycrystalline samples of noncentrosymmetric LaNiC2 down to 0.05 K. This compound has no magnetic phases and breaks time-reversal symmetry. I
n our highest quality sample we observe a T^2 dependence below 0.4Tc indicative of nodes in the energy gap. We argue that previous results suggesting conventional s-wave behavior may have been affected by magnetic impurities.
