Abstract

Anodic electrosynthesis of Ba_0.6K_0.4BiO₃ leads to millimeter-sized crystals of this cubic superconductor with transition temperatures of 30.5 K. Clusters of these lustrous blue-black crystals are grown on gold anodes in graphite crucibles which conveniently serve as the cathode. Details of the electrochemical procedure utilizing a hydroxide melt are given, along with the characterization of the superconductive transition by microwave absorption and magnetic measurements, and confirmation of the composition and structure with X-ray diffraction. The availability of crystals with cubic facets of up to 10 mm² has facilitated characterization and application of this material.
