Abstract
The anisotropy and temperature dependence of the magnetic-field penetration in superconducting have been measured by muon spin relaxation. The extrapolated zero-temperature values for the penetration depths parallel and perpendicular to the c axis are =7070±30 Å and =7820±30 Å, respectively. The temperature dependences of and are different and can both be accounted for by a superconducting gap function with a line of nodes in the basal plane and axial point nodes.
