Phys. 66 , 1125 [...] superconductivity, see Ref. [1], for a review on vortex physics in high-Tc superconductors, see Ref. [2]). To prevent dissipation, flux lines have to be pinned by impurities, which are an intrinsic property [...] glassy phases can be the result of point ("vortex glass") or columnar ("Bose glass") defects (see Refs. [2],[3] for recent reviews). The existence of vortex glass phases for point disorder has been proposed …
