Current--Voltage Characteristics of Two--Dimensional Vortex Glass Models

Abstract

We have performed Monte Carlo simulations to determine current--voltage characteristics of two different vortex glass models in two dimensions. The results confirm the conclusions of earlier studies that there is a transition at $T=0$. In addition we find that, as $T\to 0$, the linear resistance vanishes exponentially, and the current scale, $J_{nl}$, where non-linearities appear in the $I$--$V$ characteristics varies roughly as $T^3$, quite different from the predictions of conventional flux creep theory, $J_{nl}\sim T$. The results for the two models agree quite well with each other, and also agree fairly well with recent experiments on very thin films of YBCO.
