Probing the order parameter and the c-axis coupling of high-T-c cuprates by penetration depth measurements

We have measured the low-temperature (T) dependence of the anisotropic penetration depth λ(T) of magnetically aligned powders of HgBa2Can-1CunO2n+2+δ (n = 1 and 3) down to 1.2 K. For both members the T dependence of the in-plane penetration depth λab(T) is strongly linear, whereas the out-of-plane c...
