YNi2B2C intermetallic superconductor has the fluctuation magnetoconductance
showing the 3D scaling behavior. In the mixed state, due to this fluctuati
on effect, the vortices form a solid phase at low temperature and make a li
quid phase near T-c similar to high-T-c materials. Moreover, the Vortex sol
id becomes a lattice at low fields and the vortex glass transition is found
for high fields of H greater than or equal to 2 T while the liquid phase i
