Microscopic Insights into London Penetration Depth: Application to CeCoIn${}_5^{}$

Abstract

We propose a comprehensive theoretical formulation of magnetic penetration depth, $\lambda (T)$, based on the microscopic calculations for a general superconducting gap symmetry. Our findings admit the significant role of band structure and Fermi surface topology together with the symmetry of superconducting order parameter. We employ our findings pertaining to the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn${}_5$ to explore both local and non-local behaviors in response to an external magnetic field across varying temperatures. Our calculations in the low-temperature regime offer compelling macroscopic evidence of the nodal character within the superconducting state with $d_{x^2-y^2}$ symmetry. Furthermore, our findings align with the characteristics of London-type superconductivity, holding significant implications for upcoming experiments.
