Abstract

The latent heat of vortex lattice melting transition in a two-dimensional superconductor at high perpendicular magnetic field is calculated within the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau functional integral approach. The result is found to be smaller than that obtained from various numerical simulations, which tend to overestimate the latent heat due to finite-size effect.
