Abstract

The critical temperature for superconductivity in the (Ba, K)BiO3 system has been increased to 34 K. With each such increase of Tc in a system containing no copper it becomes increasingly likely that the mechanisms for superconductivity in the Bi-based and the Cu-based oxide superconductors are very closely related to each other. Since the (Ba, K)BiO3 superconductors possess the cubic perovskite structure, the mechanism for high Tc would then not related directly to the two-dimensional character of the copper oxide superconductors or to the magnetism in such systems.
