Abstract

The physics of flux lines in a high-Tc superconductor pinned by strongly correlated defects can be mapped onto charged bosons localized in two dimensions (2D). Considering the viscous dissipation of moving vortices, we derive a nonlinear response function. This function is compatible with so far suggested different model barriers U(J) and able to make a consistent description of the vortex system near transition. A comparison with the scaling behavior of the measured isothermal current-voltage curves with YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) samples shows fair agreement. This nonlinear response function also shows an empirical fit with I−V behavior of some 2D charge systems.
