abstract
The scaling of current-voltage characteristics is investigated for a two-dimensional silver-sheathed Bi-2212 tape wire under the magnetic field parallel to the $c$-axis. It is found that the current-voltage curves are approximately scaled on two master curves by normalizing as predicted in the scaling theory. The results are compared with the theoretical analysis based on the flux creep-flow mechanism in which the distribution of flux pinning strength is taken into account. It is found that the theoretical result approximately explains the experimental result on the scaling behavior and the transition line. A discussion is given on the dynamic critical index.
