Abstract

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 Hφ=40kOe is presented. The critical exponents differ significantly from those obtained for H⊥c 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.
