Abstract

Vortex dynamics has been investigated in the cubic (K,Ba)BiO3 superconductor using ac susceptibility measurements on a large frequency range (0.03Hz<ω<60kHz). Power law diverging barriers have been obtained on both sides of the order-disorder transition line. The μ exponent remains close to 5/2 (elastic creep value) in some part of the disordered phase and finally decreases at high temperature and/or high field, in good agreement with the recent plastic collective creep theory [J. Kierfeld, H. Nordborg, and V. M. Vinokur, Phys. Rev. Lett., 85, 4948 (2000)].
