Abstract

We have performed transverse-field muon spin relaxation (TF-μ\muSR) measurements on ambient-pressure-grown polycrystalline LaO0.5F0.5BiS2\mathrm{LaO_{0.5}F_{0.5}BiS_{2}}. From these measurements, no signature of magnetic order is found down to 25 mK. The value of the magnetic penetration depth extrapolated to 0 K is 0.89 (5) μ\mum. The temperature dependence of superconducting penetration depth is best described by either a multigap s + s-wave model with Δ1\Delta_{1} = 0.947 (7) meV and Δ2\Delta_{2} = 0.22 (4) meV or the ansiotropic s-wave model with Δ(0)\Delta(0) = 0.776 meV and anisotropic gap amplitude ratio Δmin/Δmax\Delta_{min}/\Delta_{max} = 0.34. Comparisons with other potentially multigap BiS2\mathrm{BiS_{2}}-based superconductors are discussed. We find that these BiS2\mathrm{BiS_{2}}-based superconductors, including Bi4O4S3\mathrm{Bi_{4}O_{4}S_3} and the high-pressure synthesized LaO0.5F0.5BiS2\mathrm{LaO_{0.5}F_{0.5}BiS_{2}}, generally conform to the Uemura relation.
