Abstract

Measurements of the London penetration depth, λ(T), are reported for crystals of superconducting κ-(ET)₂ Cu[N(CN)₂]Br (T_C = 11.6 K) and β″-(ET)₂-SF ₅CH₂CF₂SO₃ (T_C = 5.2 K) at temperatures down to 0.35 K. For κ-(ET)₂ Cu[N(CN) ₂]Br the superfluid density shows the power law behavior characteristic of nodal quasiparticles with impurity scattering. The rate of change of superfluid density with temperature is higher than predicted by a weak-coupling d-wave model and higher than observed in the copper oxides. The in-plane penetration depth consistently shows a T^3/2 dependence while the interplane penetration depth varies as T^1.22. Measurements in β″-(ET)₂-SF₅CH₂CF₂SO ₃ also show power law behavior consistent with nodal quasiparticles but with greater impurity scattering than in κ-(ET)₂ Cu[N(CN)₂]Br.
