Popis: We report measurements of resistivity hysteresis in both temperature and magnetic field performed on a detwinned YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-/spl delta// single crystal in the region of the vortex lattice melting transition. We have found evidence that the observed hysteresis cannot be explained by current-induced nonequilibrium effects. The measured voltage-current characteristics for the sample in the overheated state also display hysteretic behaviour. This strongly supports the idea that the vortex solid can be melted by transport current.
