Abstract
Isothermal V-I characteristics of Bi1.8Pb0.2Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy high temperature superconductors (HTSCs) have been systematically studied. Below the irreversibility temperature Tr(H), two important features were observed: 1) Both positive and negative curvatures can coexist in the same isothermal V-I curve, so it is different from the scaling behavior V ∝ exp(-(J0/J)μ). 2) The activation volume of flux motion is found temperature dependent as (1-T/Tr(H))-2ν with ν about 0.5. This behavior supports the existence of a two-dimensional secondary phase transition below Hc2(T) in this Bi-based HTSCs.
