Dynamics of vortices reflects the electronic states of quasiparticles in the core. To understand this, we investigated the following three issues. (1) We investigated the complex surface impedance, Zs, of YBa2Cu3Oy as a function of magnetic field, H. The total features were well expressed by the Coffey-Clem model. From the data, we estimated the viscosity and pinning frequency, which were found to be independent of frequency. In particular, the obtained viscosity definitely shows that the core of vortex of YBa2Cu3Oy is moderately clean. This result suggests that new physics will show up, for the physics of quantum moderately clean vortex core is unknown at all. (2) An anomaly found in the surface reactance at the first order transition (FOT) of vortex lattice was investigated in Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy with various doping levels. As a result, the anomaly was found only in the samples exhibiting the FOT. On the other hand, we did not observe the anomaly in YBa2Cu3Oy. These suggest that the anomaly is due to the change in the electronic states of the vortices characteristic of materials with very strong anisotropy. (3) We measured H dependence of both the thermal conductivity \kappa(H) and Zs(H) in exactly the same pieces of crystal. We could not find any anomaly in Zs(H) even at the onset of the plateau. This result suggests that the origin of the plateau in \kappa(H) is not a drastic phase transition but is rather gradual crossover.
