Abstract
Thermal conductivity of the improper ferroelastic Gd-2(MoO4)(3) crystal has been studied in the temperature range from 0.5 to 80 K by the steady-state heat-now method. The ferroelastic domain walls were found to be strong cen ters of phonon scattering, At temperatures lower than 40 K, the thermal con ductivity of the singledomain samples was by almost one order of magnitude greater than that of the multidomain ones.
