Current-voltage characteristics and the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} thin films were investigated in magnetic fields up to 5 T. For a given magnetic field, both voltage and resistivity jumps could be observed at high driving forces when the current density and the temperature reached the critical values {ital J}{sup {asterisk}} and {ital T}{sup {asterisk}}, respectively. Excellent scaling of the experimental data was obtained by describing the field and temperature dependence by {ital J}{sup {asterisk}}({ital H},{ital T})={ital J}{sup {asterisk}}({ital T})/(1+{ital H}/{ital H}{sub 0}){sup {alpha}} and {ital J}{sup {asterisk}}({ital T}){approximately}(1{minus}{ital T}/{ital T}{sub {ital c}0}){sup 3/2} with 1/3{le}{alpha}{le}3/4 and {ital H}{sub 0} and {ital T}{sub {ital c}0} being constants. These results indicate a well-defined vortex instability closely resembling that predicted by Larkin and Ovchinnikov (LO) for high flux flow velocities. In the present case, however, by referring to the current-voltage ({ital I}-{ital V}) characteristics, this instability can be demonstrated to occur even at temperatures well below {ital T}{sub {ital g}} defined by separating negatively from positively curved {ital I}-{ital V} characteristics. Analyzing the experimentally observed instability according to LO theory, the temperature dependence of the inelastic quasiparticle scattering time has been obtained. As a new aspect,more » the corresponding critical flux-flow velocity exhibits a significant field dependence for small magnetic fields, while for fields above 2 T this dependence seems to disappear. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}« less
