Abstract

Single‐phase samples of (Ba1‐xKx)(Bi1‐xSby)O3 have been synthesized over a limited compositional range using a two‐step procedure: high‐temperature firing in a low oxygen partial pressure followed by low‐temperature oxygen annealing. For y=0 and 0.37<x<0.50, samples have a simple cubic structure and are bulk superconductors with Tc gradually decreasing from 30 to 22K as x increases to 0.50. For fixed x and y>0 samples are superconducting again with a simple cubic structure and with Tc gradually decreasing as y increases.
