Abstract

We have performed a band-structure calculation of the cubic perovskite compound BaSbO3 by the augmented-plane-wave method. Using these results we have constructed an accurate tight-binding Hamiltonian which we used to calculate the density of states of the alloy BaPb0.75Sb0.25O3 by the coherent-potential approximation. We have also calculated the electron-phonon coupling and found that such coupling can explain the low transition temperature Tc of this alloy system and the higher Tc for the Bi-doped alloy. A prediction is made for a much higher transition temperature for Sb- or Bi-rich alloys.
