Abstract
The flux flow resistivity associated with purely viscous motion of vortices in high-quality was measured by microwave surface impedance. Flux flow resistivity exhibits unusual field dependence with strong enhancement at low field, which is markedly different to conventional s-wave superconductors. A crossover field which separates two distinct flux flow regimes having different slopes was clearly observed in plane. The unusual H dependence indicates that two very differently sized superconducting gaps in 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.
