Abstract

The phonon density-of-states of the ceramic superconductors Ba_0.6K_0.4BiO₃, BaPb_0.75Bi_0.2O₃ and BaPb_0.75Sb_0.25O₃ has been measured by the neutron time-of-flight technique to very low energy transfer. Measurements on metallic BaPbO₃ and semiconducting BaBiO₃ are also reported. Phonon anomalies, associated with high-frequency oxygen breathing modes are observed. The low-frequency region also reveals additional features that vary across the series. The results are consistent with phonon-mediated mechanisms for superconductivity.
