Scaling law for vortex dynamics in Rb3C60 superconductor

AC susceptibility of the Rb3C60 superconductor shows a weak dependence on ac magnetic-field frequency f. The temperature, Tp where χ″ is maximum, rises with increasing frequency and the effect is enhanced as the dc magnetic-field amplitude Hdc is increased. The temperature is found to obey a scaling law (1 − T p /T c ) 3 2 = 1.9 × 10 −4 H dc [ ln (f 0 /f) + 23] + 8 × 10 −5 [ ln (f 0 /f) + 23] , where f0 (≈ 1010 s−1) is a characteristic frequency and Hdc is in tesla. The scaling relationship is in good agreement with the predicted equation based on the model of thermally activated flux motion.
