Abstract
We report on study of the vortex liquid in Pb-doped Bi-2223 single
crystal using the in-plane resistivity measurements as a function of
temperature and magnetic field up to 6T applied perpendicular to CuO planes.
Below Tc at the upper part of superconducting transition we found
Arrhenius-like resistivity behavior. With further temperature decrease close
to onset of dissipation resistivity shows power law dependence on temperature
signaling approaching vortex-glass transition. The critical exponents
are found to be field independent within experimental
errors. We also present magnetic phase diagram defining region of nonzero
critical current for Pb-doped Bi-2223 single crystal.
