Abstract
We present magnetoresistance measurements up to 20 T performed on superconducting (K,Ba)Bi single crystals ( K). The foot of the transition curves can be fitted to and the curves exhibit a power law behavior at the melting temperature (). This shows that a vortex glass transition exists in this three-dimensional superconductor. The fluctuations of the conductivity in the vicinity of the mean field transition are discussed through the scaling procedure developed by Ullah and Dorsey. An phase diagram has been deduced from the data.
