摘要：

We were successful in synthesizing non-linear YBa(2)Cu(3)Ox whiskers, i.e. half loops or kinked shapes, which are promising candidates for solid-state devices based on the intrinsic Josephson effect and with improved electrical connections. We report on a complete characterization of their structural properties via a synchrotron nanoprobe as well as laboratory single-crystal diffraction techniques. This investigation allowed us to fully disclose the growth mechanism, which leads to the formation of curved whiskers. The superconducting properties are evaluated in comparison with their straight counterpart, revealing a strong functional analogy and confirming their potential applicability in superconducting electronic devices.
