Universality of frequency and field scaling of the conductivity measured by ac susceptibility of a YBa2Cu3O7 film.

Utilizing a novel and exact inversion scheme, we determine the complex linear conductivity $\sigma (\omega )$ from the linear magnetic ac-susceptibility which has been measured from 3\,mHz to 50\,MHz in fields between 0.4\,T and 4\,T applied parallel to the c-axis of a 250\,nm thin disk. The frequency derivative of the phase $\sigma ''/\sigma '$ and the dynamical scaling of $\sigma (\omega)$ above and below $T_g(B)$ provide clear evidence for a continuous phase transition at $T_g$ to a generic superconducting state. Based on the vortex-glass scaling model, the resulting critical exponents $\nu $ and $z$ are close to those frequently obtained on films by other means and associated with an 'isotropic' vortex glass. The field effect on $\sigma(\omega)$ can be related to the increase of the glass coherence length, $\xi_g\sim B$.
