Abstract
The temperature dependence of the London penetration depth, , was measured in both single crystal and polycrystalline samples by a high-resolution, radio frequency technique. A clear exponential temperature dependence of was observed at low temperature, indicating -wave pairing. A BCS fit to the lowest temperature data gives an in-plane energy gap of , which is significantly smaller than the standard BCS weak coupling value of 3.5. We find that the data are best described by a two-gap model.
