Abstract
The peak effect in the magnetization of Ba1-xKxBiO3+y (x greater than or equal to 0.33) single crystals has been first found and investigate d by means of a vibrational sample magnetometer at the applied field u p to 6 T over the temperature range from 4.2 to 25 K. The location and width of the peak is determined by the temperature and annealing proc ess in various media. The data obtained show that the anomalous magnet ization may be caused by the additional pinning of vortices by the reg ions with overstoichiometric oxygen content.
