Non-linear I-V characteristics have been measured on high-quality deoxygenated
thin films, in magnetic fields up to
. Critical scaling analysis
of the current-voltage data demonstrates the existence of a pure two-dimensional
vortex-glass transition with
for high magnetic fields (7,
). The
validity of the pure 2D vortex-glass model in our samples is checked with
the linear resistivity term and the non-linear current density. The linear
resistivity
from resistivity vs. temperature and
current-voltage measurements, produces the parameters p

) and T0 (230 K) used for the scaling analysis. The
non-linear current density jnl exhibits a power law temperature dependence
suggesting
as predicted by the 2D vortex-glass
theory. The values of the exponent p obtained in this study are in good agreement
with the predictions of the quantum theory of vortex tunneling.
