Abstract

We study vortex lines in high-temperature superconductors with columnar defects produced by heavy ion irradiation. We reconsider scaling theory for the Bose glass transition with tilted magnetic fields, and propose, e.g., a new scaling form for the shape of the Bose glass phase boundary, which is relevant for experiments. We also consider Monte Carlo simulations for a vortex model with a screened interaction. Critical exponents are determined from scaling analysis of Monte Carlo data for current-voltage characteristics and other quantities. The dynamic critical exponent is found to be z = 4.6 +/- 0.3.
