We propose a new scenario for the metal-insulator phase transition and superconductivity in the perovskite-like bismuthates Ba1-xKxBiO3 (BKBO) based on our EXAFS studies. We show that two types of charge carriers, the local pairs (real-space bosons) and the itinerant electrons, exist in the metallic compound Ba1-xKxBiO3 (). The real-space bosons are responsible for the charge transport in semiconducting BaBiO3 and for superconductivity in the metallic BKBO. The appearance of the Fermi-liquid state as the percolation threshold is overcome () explains the observed metal-insulator phase transition. Because bosons and fermions occupy different types of the octahedral BiO6 complexes, they are separated in real space, and therefore, the spatially separated Fermi-Bose mixture of a new type is likely to be realized in the bismuthates. The nature of superconductivity is consistently explained in the framework of this scenario. A new superconducting oxide Ba1-xLaxPbO3 has been successfully synthesized to check our conclusions.
