Popis: The electrical resistance across the Cu-O layers of a BSCCO-2212 single crystal is investigated in the range of angles 0°⩽φ⩽90° between the magnetic field H⩽15 T and the ab plane. It is found that the temperature dependence R(T) at the transition into the mixed state is much sharper for φ≃0° than for 1°≲φ≲90°, where R is determined by the perpendicular component of the magnetic field and is described by the Arrhenius law R∼exp(−U/T). For H∥ ab hysteretic jumps in R(T, H), which vanish as the current increases, are observed at fields in the range 5.5⩽H⩽11 T. This effect can be attributed to a commensurate phase transition in a lattice of Josephson vortices.
