Abstract

The temperature-concentration phase diagram of doped bismuthate superconductors is described using a coarse grained anisotropic Heisenberg model. In contrast to previous treatments, we find a robust region of coexistence between the charge density wave (CDW) and the superconducting phases. Random fields break the CDW phase into metastable domains, which may explain various recent experiments. A partial Meissner effect without bulk superconductivity is predicted at low doping concentrations and at low temperatures.
