Abstract
We present simulations of the transport properties of superconductors at the transition from the Bragg glass (BG) to the vortex glass (VG) phase. We study the frustrated anisotropic 3D XY model with point disorder, which has been shown to have a first-order transition as a function of the intensity of disorder. We add an external current to the model, and we obtain current-voltage curves as a function of disorder at a low temperature. We find that the in-plane critical current has a steep increase at the BG-VG transition, while the c-axis critical current has a discontinuous jump down, this later result in agreement with the first-order character of the transition.
