Magnetic penetration depth measurements in mgb2 sintered pellets and thin films

We have performed accurate measurements of the temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth of the new intermetallic superconductor MgB2 using a high resolution single coil mutual inductance technique. Both sintered pellets and thin films exhibiting critical temperature values ranging between 37 and 38.4 K have been studied. In the case of the film, for T
