Abstract

We have fabricated and measured the transport properties of a series of YBa2Cu3O7-δ nanowires ranging from 100 to 200 nm in width. In all samples we observe hysteretic steps in the current-voltage characteristics below the superconducting transition temperature Tc and switching fluctuations in the resistance as the temperature is varied well above Tc. The data may be evidence for the formation of a domain structure such as charge stripes.
