Abstract

The structure and transport properties of YBa2Cu3O7 films have been investigated. At high temperatures and low magnetic field the vortices seem to flow along one-dimensional easy slip channels. The regions near low angle grain boundaries, where superconducting order parameter is locally suppressed, can serve as such channels.
