Current-induced vortex glass transition in YBa2Cu3Ox thin films

Nonlinear current–voltage curves were measured in c-oriented YBa2Cu3Ox thin films at zero external magneticfield. We demonstrated that even in this case the vortex glass model can be used to extract from a criticalscaling analysis the indexes z and n. We associated this behavior to the vortex excita...

Sumario:Nonlinear current–voltage curves were measured in c-oriented YBa2Cu3Ox thin films at zero external magneticfield. We demonstrated that even in this case the vortex glass model can be used to extract from a criticalscaling analysis the indexes z and n. We associated this behavior to the vortex excitations induced by theapplied current. Our results showed that small z and large glass temperature values are related with a wide andinhomogeneous distribution of pinning forces. The broadening of this distribution was caused by a slightgrain misalignment formed during the growth process
