Thermal conductivity of a series of well characterized samples of YBa2
Cu3-xZnxO7-y has been measured. The phonon part of the thermal conduct
ivity has been fitted to a modified BRT type expression. The fit param
eters, among other things, indicate that the gap parameter 2 Delta/kBT
c and the electron-phonon coupling strength decrease with increasing z
inc concentration in the sample.
