ABSTRACT
Muon spin relaxation measurements have been performed to obtain penetration depth versus temperature for several high-temperature oxide superconductors. Comparison with theoretical results based on the Eliashberg equations indicates that at 1 kOe the (RE)Ba2Cu3O7 materials (data for RE=Gd, Er, and Eu) are in the very strong coupling, extremely dirty limit, while data at 5 kOe for Bi2CaSr2Cu2O8 and Tl2Ca2Ba2Cu3O10 follow the strong coupling, clean limit curve.

A muon spin echo method is proposed for determining the contributions of the static and dynamic local fields in muon experiments. It is shown that if for each muon which has stopped in the sample a rf pulse of fixed duration is applied to the sample at a time t after the muon entered the sample,...
