Abstract
Results of Monte Carlo simulations in three and four spatial dimensions of a simple model that seems to have the necessary ingredients for disordered type-II superconductor behavior in an external magnetic field are reported. The data suggest that in d = 3 dimensions there is a finite temperature phase transition at T ≈ 0.45 into a truly superconducting vortex glass phase with infinite d.c. conductivity The (effective) correlation length exponent v and the dynamic critical exponent z at this transition are in good agreement with experiments. In d = 4 dimensions the gauge glass transition is located at T ≈ 0.95. It is concluded that the lack of time reversal symmetry in the model places it into a universality class different from that of the XY spin glass.
