We have measured the surface resistance and transmittivity of overdoped TlB
a2CuO6+delta in magnetic field up to 7 T in order to investigate the unusua
l de resistive transition, introduction of columnar defects largely shifts
the irreversibility line to higher field, showing that the resistive transi
tion is caused by the melting of the vortex lattice. It is found that flux
flow resistance of this compound is unusual as compared with that expected
from the dc resistivity. PACS numbers: 74.72.Fq, 74.25.Fy, 74.25.Nf.
