โฆ Synopsis
We have estimated the energy associated with vortex crossing in an anisotropic, clean HTC superconductor.
The calculation was performed using the Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional and the lowest Landau level approximation. We found that the energy of crossing Uร is low; for instance Uร ,~ 8kBTM at the experimentally measured melting line implying that vortex crossing is an important feature of the vortex liquid regime of HTC superconductors.

A critic-al review of Teller's derivation of the conditions for the crossing of two energy surfaces confirms the conclusions recently drawn by Rnzi Naqvi and Byers Brown that this derivation is fundamentally wrong.
