Abstract

We have measured the voltageV appearing along a type-II superconducting sample carrying a longitudinal currentI in the presence of a transverse magnetic fieldH. The analysis of the nonlinear part ofV(I) curves does not verify the recent model of Sherrill and Payne. The linear part ofV(I) curves shows that the flux-flow resistivity ρf is exponential inH nearH c2, as Axt and Joiner found. We estimated the parameter α=(H c2/ρn)(dρf/dH)H=H c2 as a function of the reduced temperature and have compared it to some of the existing theories.
