Abstract
The flux line lattice inside a single crystal of Bi2.15Sr1.95CaCu2O8+x has been observed using small-angle neutron diffraction. The diffracted intensity goes rapidly to zero at a magnetic-field-dependent flux lattice melting temperature; this melting coincides with the appearance of finite resistance within the superconducting state. The flux lattice signal can also be made to disappear at low temperatures, by applying a sufficiently high field, probably because of the decomposition of flux lines into two-dimensional 'pancake' vortices.
