β¦ Synopsis
Single crystals of the superconductor BaPbt _xBixO3 with nominal compositions of x=0.25, were grown by cooling from the melt using an excess of PbO. The superconducting transitions have been measured on the grown crystals as a function of oxygen annealing and sharp transitions with TΒ’on~t at 12 K have been observed. The related perovskite Bat _xKxBiO3 superconductor (x = 0.4) has been synthesized by a new melt-processing technique using an infra-red image furnace. The melt-processed material on post annealing, is superconducting with TΒ’on~t ~ 25 K. The superconducting properties of these two families of superconductors are presented.
