Abstract

In the vortex-liquid state in YBa2Cu3O7, there exist two distinct dissipative states separated by a field H>k. Below Hk, the resistivity is strongly field-activated, with a prefactor that is anomalously enhanced over the normal-state resistivity ρ{variant}N by ≈12 orders of magnitude. At Hk, the prefactor collapses to a temperature-independent value equal to ρ{variant}N, and the vortex motion becomes diffusive. The existence of the Hk boundary is also reflected in the anomalous behavior of the Hall resistivity.
