F. Yu et al., THERMAL-CONDUCTIVITY OF SINGLE-CRYSTAL TL2BA2CUO6 (TL-2201) IN APPLIED MAGNETIC-FIELDS, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 1489-1490
We report the dependence of the thermal conductivity kappa(H,T) of sin
gle crystal Tl-2201 samples on both magnetic field and temperature. Th
e samples have a superconducting phase transition temperature T-c simi
lar to 86K. We develop a two component method to analyze the magnetic
field dependence of thermal conductivity. Considering the temperature
dependence of the two components, we provide the first experimental se
paration of the quasiparticle and phonon contribution to the thermal c
onductivity in high temperature superconductors.
