description

Recent experimental results obtained from transport measurements on extremely long measurement bridges [1] have questioned the validity of previous vortex-glass analyses. For electric-field windows restricted to relatively high values of E > 10 -5 V/m the dynamic exponent of the vortex-glass transition z 6, in agreement with theoretical predictions and previous experimental results. However, for extended windows (10 -1 > E > 10 -8 V/m) - while the characteristics of a vortex-glass transition are preserved - all analyses result in z ≥ 9. A combined analysis of the crossover-current density J + 0 and crossover-electric field E + 0 , which limit the critical regime of the vortex-glass transition, allows a conclusive determination of z depending primarily on higher electric-field data.
