The superconducting pairing state of ${\mathrm{LaPt}}_{4}{\mathrm{Ge}}_{12}$ is studied by measuring the magnetic penetration depth $\ensuremath{\lambda}(T,B)$ and superfluid density ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}(T)$ using a tunnel-diode-oscillator (TDO)-based method and transverse-field muon-spin rotation $(\mathrm{TF}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{SR})$ spectroscopy. The penetration depth follows an exponential-type temperature dependence at $T\ensuremath{\ll}{T}_{c}$, but increases linearly with magnetic field at $T=1.5$ K. A …
