Abstract
The vortex phase transition in twinned $\mathrm{Y}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{7\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}$ single crystals is studied by measuring the resistivity under conditions in which the correlated disorders compete with point disorders. When a magnetic field is applied exactly parallel to the twin planes, we find a kink in the obtained liquid-to-glass transition line near $80\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{kOe}$ and a nonuniversality in critical behavior. By introducing a matchinglike effect for planar defects, we show that both anomalous phenomena can be explained by the scenario that a mixture of Bose glass and vortex glass appears above the magnetic field of the kink, and Bose glass appears below it.
