Thermodynamic (specific heat, reversible magnetization, tunneling
spectroscopy) and transport measurements have been performed on high quality
(K,Ba)BiO3 single crystals. The temperature dependence of the magnetic field
HCp corresponding to the onset of the specific heat anomaly presents a
clear positive curvature. HCp is significantly smaller than the field
HΔ for which the superconducting gap vanishes but is closely related to
the irreversibility line deduced from transport data. Moreover, the temperature
dependence of the reversible magnetization present a strong deviation from the
Ginzburg--Landau theory emphasazing the peculiar nature of the superconducting
transition in this material.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, 28 reference
