J. Kotzler et al., UNIVERSALITY OF FREQUENCY AND FIELD SCALING OF THE CONDUCTIVITY MEASURED BY AC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF A YBA2CU3O7 FILM, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 50(5), 1994, pp. 3384-3391
Utilizing an exact inversion scheme, we determine the complex linear c
onductivity sigma(omega) of a YBa2Cu3O7 film from the linear magnetic
ac susceptibility which has been measured from 3 mHZ to 50 MHz in fiel
ds between 0.4 and 4 T applied parallel to the c axis of a 250-nm thin
disk. The frequency derivative of the phase sigma''/sigma' and the dy
namical scaling of sigma(omega) above and below T(g)(B) provide clear
evidence for a continuous phase transition at T(g) to a generic superc
onducting state. Based on the vortex-glass scaling model, the resultin
g critical exponents nu and z are close to those frequently obtained o
n films by other means and associated with an isotropic vortex glass.
The field effect on sigma(omega) can be related to the increase of the
glass coherence length, xi(g) approximately B.
