Abstract

We have studied the vortex-related phase transition in a number of YBCO thin films that have in-plane anisotropy due to the c-axis lying at an angle to the substrate normal. The critical parameters T t , z, and ν have been extracted from the scaling of dc I-V measurements made along the two principal transport directions in magnetic fields up to 1 tesla. The dependence of T t upon the direction of the transport current in some classes of film and the very high z values cast doubt upon the established interpretation based simply upon a vortex liquid–vortex glass phase transition.
