We theoretically investigate the magnetic-field-angle dependence of the flux-flow resistivity $rho_{rm f}$ in unconventional superconductors. Two contributions to $rho_{rm f}$ are considered: one is the quasiparticle (QP) relaxation time $tau(bm{k}_{rm F})$ and the other is $omega_0(bm{k}_{rm F})$, which is a counterpart to the interlevel spacing of the QP bound states in the quasiclassical approach. Here, $bm{k}_{rm F}$ denotes the position on a Fermi surface. Numerical calculations are conducted for a line-node s-wave and a d-wave pair potential with the same anisotropy of their amplitudes, but with a sign change only for a d-wave one. We show that the field-angle dependence of $rho_{rm f}$ differs prominently between s-wave and d-wave pairs, reflecting the phase of the pair potentials. We also discuss the case where $tau$ is constant and compare it with the more general case where $tau$ depends on $bm{k}_{rm F}$.

We theoretically investigate the applied magnetic field-angle dependence of the flux-flow resistivity $rho_{rm f}(alpha_{rm M})$ for an uniaxially anisotropic Fermi surface. $rho_{rm f}$ is related to the quasiparticle scattering rate $varGamma$ insi de a vortex core, which reflects the sign change in the superconducting pair potential. We find that $rho_{rm f}(alpha_{rm M})$ is sensitive to the sign-change in the pair potential and has its maximum when the magnetic field is parallel to the gap-node direction. We propose the measurement of the field-angle dependent oscillation of $rho_{rm f}(alpha_{rm M})$ as a phase-sensitive field-angle resolved experiment.
Measurements of the current-voltage characteristics were performed on Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ single crystals with doping level $0.044 leq x leq 0.1$. An unconventional increase in the flux-flow resistivity $rho_{rm ff}$ with decreasing magnet ic field was observed across this doping range. Such an abnormal field dependence of flux-flow resistivity is in contrast with the linear field dependence of $rho_{rm ff}$ in conventional type-II superconductors, but is similar to the behavior recently observed in the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn$_5$. A significantly enhanced $rho_{rm ff}$ was found for the x=0.06 single crystals, implying a strong single-particle energy dissipation around the vortex cores. At different temperatures and fields and for a given doping concentration, the normalized $rho_{rm ff}$ scales with normalized field and temperature. The doping level dependence of these parameters strongly suggests that the abnormal upturn flux-flow resisitivity is likely related to the enhancement of spin fluctuations around the vortex cores of the optimally doped samples.

The flux flow resistivity associated with purely viscous motion of vortices in high-quality MgB_2 was measured by microwave surface impedance. Flux flow resistivity exhibits unusual field dependence with strong enhancement at low field, which is mark edly different to conventional s-wave superconductors. A crossover field which separates two distinct flux flow regimes having different flux flow resistivity slopes was clearly observed in H//ab-plane. The unusual H-dependence indicates that two very differently sized superconducting gaps in MgB_2 manifest in the vortex dynamics and almost equally contribute to energy dissipation. The carrier scattering rate in two different bands is also discussed with the present results, compared to heat capacity and thermal conductivity results.

We develop a theory of conductivity of type-II superconductors in the flux flow regime taking into account random spatial fluctuations of the system parameters, such as the gap magnitude $Delta$(r) and the diffusion coefficient D(r). We find a contri bution to the conductivity that is proportional to the inelastic relaxation time $tau_{in}$, which is much longer than the elastic relaxation time. This new contribution is due to Debye-type relaxation, and it can be much larger than the conventional flux flow conductivity due to Bardeen and Stephen. The new contribution is expected to dominate in clean superconductors at low temperatures and in magnetic fields much smaller than $H_{c2}$.
We show that the zero field normal-state resistivity above Tc for various levels of electron doping - both for LaO1-xFxFeAs (La-1111) and SmO1-xFxFeAs (Sm-1111) members of the 1111-iron-pnictide superconductor family - can be scaled in a broad temper ature range from 20 to 300 K onto single curves for underdoped La-1111 (x=0.05-0.075), for optimally and overdoped La-1111 (x=0.1-0.2) and for underdoped Sm-1111 (x=0.06-0.1) compounds. The scaling was performed using the energy scale {Delta}, the resistivity {rho}_{Delta} and the residual resistivity {rho}_0 as scaling parameters as well as by applying a recently proposed model-independent scaling method (H. G. Luo, Y. H. Su, and T. Xiang, Phys. Rev. B 77, 014529 (2008)). The scaling parameters have been calculated and the compositional variation of {Delta} has been determined. The observed scaling behaviour for {rho}(T) is interpreted as an indication of a common mechanism which dominates the scattering of the charge carriers in underdoped La-1111, in optimally and overdoped La-1111 and in underdoped Sm-1111 compounds..
