Theory of the c-Axis Penetration Depth in the Cuprates
arXiv:cond-mat/9509171 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.53.R522
Abstract
Recent measurements of the London penetration depth tensor in the cuprates find a weak temperature dependence along the c-direction which is seemingly inconsistent with evidence for d-wave pairing deduced from in-plane measurements. We demonstrate in this paper that these disparate results are not in contradiction, but can be explained within a theory based on incoherent quasiparticle hopping between the CuO2 layers. By relating the calculated temperature dependence of the penetration depth λ_c(T) to the c-axis resistivity, we show how the measured ratio λ_c^2(0) / λ_c^2(T) can provide insight into the behavior of c-axis transport below Tc and the related issue of ``confinement.''
