Abstract

The glass transitions of the vortex system in Au-ion irradiated YBa2Cu3Oy films have been studied by the measurements of transport properties as a function of magnetic field B and angle &θ; of B to the direction of columnar defects. At &θ;=0°, we find an anomalous upturn behavior of the glass transition line Bg(T) at BB&&phis;;/3, where B&&phis;; is the matching field. In B>B&&phis;;/3, the &θ; dependence of glass transition temperature Tg reveals cusplike behavior with a peak at &θ;=0°, which is consistent with the Bose glass theory. In B<B&&phis;;/3, on the other hand, Tg is almost independent of &θ;, suggesting the system undergoes the vortex glass transition induced by the inherent point-like defects.
