The magnetic penetration depth λ as a function of temperature in Bi 4 O 4 S 3 was studied by muon-spin-spectroscopy measurements. The superfluid density of Bi 4 O 4 S 3 is found to be very low. The dependence of λ - 2 on temperature possibly suggests the existence of two s -wave-type energy gaps with the zero-temperature values of 0.93 (3) and 0.09 (4) meV. The upturn in the temperature dependence of the upper critical field close to T c further supports multigap superconductivity in Bi 4 O 4 S 3 . The presence of two superconducting energy gaps is consistent with theoretical and other experimental studies. However, a single-gap s -wave model fit with a gap of 0.88 (2) meV cannot be ruled out completely. The value of λ ( T ) at T = 0 K is estimated to be λ ( 0 ) = 861 ( 17 ) nm, one of the largest of all known layered superconductors, reflecting a very low superfluid density.
