We present an experimental approach using magnetic force microscopy for measurements of the absolute value of the magnetic penetration depth $\lambda$ in superconductors. $\lambda$ is obtained in a simple and robust way without introducing…
We report the local measurements of the magnetic penetration depth $\lambda$ in a superconducting Nb film using magnetic force microscopy (MFM). We developed a method for quantitative extraction of the penetration depth from…
Superconducting microstrip resonators, which leverage kinetic inductance to probe electrodynamics, are sensitive tools for studying superconducting thin films at microwave frequencies. However, extracting the absolute superconducting…
The magnetic penetration depth, $\lambda^{-2}(T)$, in the basal plane of a magnesium diboride (MgB$_2$) film was measured using a two-coil mutual inductance technique at 50 kHz. This film has $T_c\simeq 38$ K, $\Delta T_c \leq 1$ K, and…
We report the temperature dependent magnetic penetration depth $\lambda(T)$ and the superconducting critical field $H_{c2}(T)$ in a 500-nm MgB$_{2}$ film. Our analysis of the experimental results takes into account the two gap nature of the…
We report a method to locally measure the penetration depth $\lambda$ in a superconductor by detecting the diamagnetic response using magnetic force microscopy (MFM). We extract $\lambda$ by fitting the height dependence of the levitation…
We present a study of the superconducting penetration depth $\lambda$ in aluminum thin films of varying thickness. The range of thicknesses chosen spans from the thin-film regime to the regime approaching bulk behavior. The penetration…
The magnetic penetration depth $\lambda$ has been measured in MgCNi$_{3}$ single crystals using both a high precision Tunnel Diode Oscillator technique (TDO) and Hall probe magnetization (HPM). In striking contrast to previous measurements…
We investigate the magnetic field distribution near the surface of a magnetic superconductor when a magnetic source is placed close to the superconductor. The magnetic field distribution can be measured by magnetic force microscopy and…
Magnetic flux front and induction contours in superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-d films with defect size s ~ l (superconducting coherence length) and s > l are studied by magneto-optical imaging. Robust self-affine spatial correlation was observed…
We report the first direct measurements of superfluid density, ns(T) \propto {\lambda}-2(T), in films of Fe-pnictide superconductors. The magnetic penetration depth, {\lambda}(0), in our epitaxial, single-crystal Ba(CoxFe1-x)2As2 films near…
We demonstrate that images of flux vortices in a superconductor taken with a transmission electron microscope can be used to measure the penetration depth and coherence length in all directions at the same temperature and magnetic field.…
Images of flux vortices in superconductors acquired by transmission electron microscopy should allow a quantitative determination of their magnetic structure but so far, only visual comparisons have been made between experimental images and…
Although matching effects in superconducting anti-dot arrays have been studied extensively through magneto-resistance oscillations, these investigations have been restricted to a very narrow temperature window close to the superconducting…
Epitaxial niobium-nitride thin films with a critical temperature of Tc=16K and a thickness of 100nm were fabricated on MgO(100) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Low-temperature magnetic force microscopy (MFM) images of the…

We present measurements of the ab-plane magnetic penetration depth, \lambda(T), in five optimally doped Pr_{1.855}Ce_{0.145}CuO_{4-y} films for 1.6 K \leq T \leq T_c \sim 24 K. Low resistivities, high superfluid densities n_s(T)\propto…
Thickness uniformity is regarded as an important parameter in designing thin film devices. However, some applications based on films with non-uniform thickness have recently emerged, such as gas sensors and optimized materials based on the…
We propose a modified two-tone method that could be used for sensitive measurements of the intrinsic microwave surface impedance (Zs) of thin superconductor films and the tand of a low-loss dielectric. An open-gap resonator scheme is used…
