✦ Synopsis
Nonlinear, field-modulated, direct microwave absorption (FMMA) was observed in copper-free Ba~ ,K~BiO3 powder sampies. The high-field, low-temperature results were compared to previous measurements ofYBa CuO and BiSrCaCuO. The microwave determined critical field #oH* = 0.7 p_T and depinning current density J* z 1 × I() ~ ,X/m 2 were obtained from the "'Port is" model of flux pinning and depinning. These values were lower than the values obtained previously for YBaCuO and BiSr('aCu() as anticipated for a material with larger coherence length and comparable London penetration depth. ,\ previously unobserved asymmetry of the FMMA in the field scan direction was also noted.

We present new results on the optical absorption of the family of compounds KxBa~ \_xBiO3 (KBB) and CsxKo.4\_xBao.6BiO3 (CKBB) (0 < x < 0.4 ) using powder methods. All cubic compounds of the KBB system (x >/0.3, Tc ~ 30 K) possess a broad nearinfrared (NIR) absorption band, which appears to evolve o
Bat\_xKxBiO3 is to date the highest Tc member of a class of superconductors which, it could be argued, belong in the same class of materials as the copper oxides. While there are striking differences between the bismuthates and the cuprates, there are some similarities. In this paper, we will report
Raman and intrared measurements were conducted on Bal-xKxBiO3 single crystals as a function of potassium concentration x, The sample with x=0,5 was found to superconduct below 32 K, while the other two samples with x=0.2 and 1.0 were semiconducting and insulating, respectively. The observed peaks in
