Temperature-dependent London penetration depth, $\lambda(T)$, was measured in optimally - doped, $x=$0.35, as-grown ($T_c \approx$25 K, RRR=$\rho(300K)/\rho(T_c)$=4.5) and annealed ($T_c \approx$35 K, RRR=6.4) single crystals of…

The anisotropy of the London penetration depth is evaluated for two-band superconductors with arbitrary inter- and intra-band scattering times. If one of the bands is clean and the other is dirty in the absence of inter-band scattering, the…
