摘要
We study the distribution of transport current across superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 crystals and the vortex flow through the sample edges. We show that the T-x transition is of electrodynamic rather than thermodynamic nature, below which vortex dynamics is governed by the edge inductance instead of the resistance. This allows measurement of the resistance down to 2 orders of magnitude below the transport noise. By irradiating the current contacts the resistive step at vortex melting is shown to be due to loss of c-axis correlations rather than breakdown of quasilong-range order within the a-b planes.
