Within the Eliashberg theory we present an analysis of the superconductivit
y in the ceramic compounds BaPb1-xBixO3 and BaxK1-xBiO3. This analysis has
been carried out calculating some of the thermodynamic properties, function
al derivatives, and evaluating the isotope coefficient (alpha). These physi
cal quantities are calculated by numerical solutions of the Eliashberg gap
equations and the electron-phonon spectra alpha(2)(omega)F(omega) as determ
ined by Shirai et al., using a realistic band-structure obtained in the tig
ht-binding approximation. In the first oxide superconductor BaPb1-xBixO3, w
e have studied several models for the alpha(2)(omega)F(omega) function look
ing for better agreement with experimental data. In evaluating the isotope
coefficient (alpha) in both compounds, we have used the Rainer and Culetto
approach and the functional derivative for the critical temperature T-c. Wi
th numerical calculations of some important BCS-ratios and the analysis of
the isotope coefficient in these two bismuthate, we outline the importance
of the electron-phonon coupling in both superconductors.
