contents Here we report muon spin rotation (muSR) experiments on the temperature and field dependence of the effective magnetic penetration depth (lambda) in the eta-carbide-type suboxide Ti4Ir2O, a superconductor with an considerably high upper critical field. Temperature dependence of penetration depth, obtained from transverse-field (TF)-muSR measurements, is in perfect agreement with an isotropic fully gaped superconducting state. Furthermore, our ZF muSR results confirm that the time-reversal symmetry is preserved in the superconducting state. We find, however, a notably low ratio of 1.22 between the superconducting critical temperature and the superfluid density. This value is close to most unconventional superconductors, showing that a very small superfluid density is present in the superconducting state of Ti4Ir2O. The presented results will pave the way for further theoretical and experimental investigations to obtain a microscopic understanding of the origin of such a high upper critical field in an isotropic single gap superconducting system.
