Abstract

The stability and the critical properties of the three-dimensional vortex-glass (VG) order in random type-II superconductors with point disorder is investigated in the unscreened limit based on a lattice XY model with a uniform field. By performing equilibrium Monte Carlo simulations for the system with periodic boundary conditions, the existence of a stable VG order is established in the unscreened limit. Estimated critical exponents are compared with those of the same model with free boundary conditions and with those of the gauge-glass model.
