Abstract
Vortex dynamics has been investigated in the cubic superconductor using ac susceptibility measurements on a large frequency range . Power law diverging barriers have been obtained on both sides of the order-disorder transition line. The exponent remains close to (elastic creep value) in some part of the disordered phase and finally decreases at high temperature and/or high field, in good agreement with the recent plastic collective creep theory [J. Kierfeld, H. Nordborg, and V. M. Vinokur, Phys. Rev. Lett., 85, 4948 (2000)].
