Almost all known superconductors with high T_c have layered structure and are quasi two-dimensional (2D) electronically. Among those that are not, hole-doped BaBiO₃ has the highest T_c (and also the highest among all oxides other than cuprates). Coincidentally, Bi is a valence-skipping element and a natural candidate for a negative-U center, with the potential of enhancing superconductivity, as often pointed out by Ted Geballe. With this motivation, we have been trying to synthesize quasi-2D embodiments of BaBiO₃. The technique we use is atomic-layer-by-layer molecular beam epitaxy (ALL-MBE), which allows for ‘digital’ synthesis of atomically precise heterostructures and superlattices. We have succeeded in synthesizing some novel, artificial, metastable, layered compounds such as Ba₃Bi₂LaO₉. So far, neither has shown superconductivity, but we will persist in trying.
