Abstract

We study the single-particle density of states (DOS) across the superconducting transition (Tc=31K) in single-crystal Ba0.67K0.33BiO3 using ultrahigh resolution angle-integrated photoemission spectroscopy. The superconducting gap opens with a pileup in the DOS, Δ(5.3K)=5.2meV and 2Δ(0)/kBTc=3.9. In addition, we observe a pseudogap below and above Tc, occurring as a suppression in intensity over an energy scale up to the breathing mode phonon (∼70 meV). The results indicate electron-phonon coupling induces a pseudogap in Ba0.67K0.33BiO3.
