Dynamic scaling analyses of the ac conductivity measured between 1 and 190 kOe before and after heavy ion irradiation parallel to the c axis reveal continuous phase transitions to superconducting glassy vortex states. A first unambiguous evidence for the predicted Bose-glass (BG) behavior being stable up to the matching field H f 40 kOe is presented. The critical exponents differ significantly from those obtained for HЌc and those reported recently for twin-free crystals, suggesting that the inherent uncorrelated disorder in thin films reduces the vortex line wandering, and therefore enhances the BG transition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
