Precision measurements of the magnetic field dependence of the penetration depth in YBCO : an experimental study of the nonlinear Meissner effect

Motivated by a well established body of theoretical work on the nonlinear Meissner state electrodynamics of type II superconductors, we have developed a high sensitivity ac susceptometer to measure the magnetic field dependence of the penetration depth λ in single crystal YBa₂Cu₃O₇₋δ. The susceptome...
