The current-voltage characteristics (CVC's) of YBa2Cu3O7-delta epitaxial fi
lm were determined at various temperatures and magnetic fields. The pinning
potential U-0(T, H), critical current density J(c)(T, H) and effective pin
ning potential U-eff(H, T, J) were derived from the CVC's. It is shown that
the nonlinear response regime of the vortex-liquid (NRVL) display a changi
ng process from vortex plastic creep to free flow with the dynamic exponent
changing from -0.5 to 0.
