Abstract

Potassium doping in insulating BaBiO₃ induces superconductivity, with high superconducting transition temperatures, T_c, of up to 31 K in bulk. We investigated growth control of superconducting properties of BKBO films, by varying laser fluence using pulsed laser deposition technique. As cation stoichiometry, especially potassium concentration in BKBO films, was sensitively changed with laser fluence, we were able to precisely control T_c of BKBO films. Following the trend of the bulk phase diagram, T_c showed the highest value of 24.5 ± 0.5 K at the optimal stoichiometry. This result can provide optimal guidance for the synthesis of high-quality BKBO films, and demonstrates the effectiveness of laser fluence to study emerging superconducting phenomena in PLD-grown complex oxide thin films.
