Abstract

We report measurements of ac susceptibility and I-V characteristics performed on a polycrystalline sintered sample of YBa2Cu3O7−δ near the superconducting transition at selected magnetic fields between 0.1 and 80.9 G. The behavior of χac provides evidence that this sample is a gauge-glass granular superconductor. I-V measurements performed at H=0.5, 8.1, and 80.9 G show scaling behavior consistent with a superconducting phase transition and provide evidence that the gauge-glass transition occurs at a well-defined transition temperature Tc.
