Abstract

A model combining thermally activated motion of flux lines, viscous flux flow at high current density, and distribution of activation energies is shown to reproduce the characteristic features of current-voltage curves of high-Tc superconductors. In particular the recent data of Koch et al. and Zeldov et al. can be explained without invoking a continuous phase transition (freezing into a superconducting vortex-glass phase) or a logarithmic current dependence of the activation energy.
