Size-dependent resistivity in a micro-processed YBa2Cu3O7-δ superconducting whisker

We report the results of a detailed geometrical and electrical study which has been performed on a YBa2Cu3O7-δ superconducting whisker. This sample has undergone three subsequent steps of micro-machining by means of a focused ion beam (FIB) instrument, in order to progressively decrease its cross-se...
