Description

Perovskite-type structures (ABO3) have received significant attention because of their crystallographic aspects and physical properties, but there has been no clear evidence of a superconductor with a double-perovskite-type structure, whose different elements occupy A and/or B sites in ordered ways. In this report, hydrothermal synthesis at 220 C produced a new superconductor with an A-site-ordered double perovskite structure, (Na0.25K0.45)(Ba1.00)3(Bi1.00)4O12, with a maximum Tc of about 27 K.
