Abstract
Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of point contacts between the am orphous superconductor (Mo0.55Ru0.45)(0.8)P-0.2 and Ag show distinct f eatures which are associated with reaching of B-cl at the periphery of the constriction by the transport current according to Silsbee's rule and the motion of flux vortices. In the dV/dI curves of some contacts additional features caused by exceeding the pair-breaking current den sity and probably Andreev reflection are observed. All features vanish at the bulk critical temperature T-c or the bulk upper critical field B-c2.
