摘要：
We present a thermodynamic study of high purity YBa2Cu3O7-delta single crystals, using a state of the art AC calorimetric set-up. Our sample exhibits a sharp vortex melting transition for a wide range of fields. This first order transition is confined in the H-T vortex phasediagram between two critical points. Close to these critical points we observe a new specific heat anomaly.
