Abstract

We have performed transverse-field muon spin relaxation measurements on ambient-pressure-grown polycrystalline LaO0.5F0.5BiS2. From these measurements, no signature of magnetic order is found down to 25 mK. The value of the magnetic penetration depth extrapolated to 0 K is 0.89 (5) μm. The temperature dependence of superconducting penetration depth is best described by either a multigap s+s-wave model with Δ1=0.947 (7) meV and Δ2=0.22 (4) meV or the anisotropic s-wave model with Δ(0)=0.776 meV and anisotropic gap amplitude ratio Δmin/Δmax=0.34. Comparisons with other potentially multigap BiS2-based superconductors are discussed. We find that these BiS2-based superconductors, including Bi4O4S3 and the high-pressure synthesized LaO0.5F0.5BiS2, generally conform to the Uemura relation.
