Abstract
A model for the resistive behavior of high temperature superconductors in a field is presented, including both flux flow and the possibility of long jumps or cascades of flux lines in flux creep. These mechanisms help to understand characteristic features of the resistivity, reported earlier in YBaCuO crystals and films, especially the large resistive prefactors in the activated regime. The importance of including the temperature dependence of the activation energy in the data analysis is emphasized. The crossover between flux creep and flux flow may explain the knee in the resistivity-vs.-temperature curves observed in much earlier work and particularly clearly in new work on YBaCuO crystals reported here.
