A. Jezowski et al., THERMAL-CONDUCTIVITY ANOMALIES IN (CH3NH3)(5)BI2BR11 FERROELECTRIC-CRYSTALS, Journal of the Korean Physical Society, 32, 1998, pp. 210-211
We studied thermal conductivity in (CH3NH3)(5)Bi2Br11 crystals (labele
d later with MAPBB) between 5 and 330 K during cooling and heating. Th
e temperature dependence of thermal conductivity shows hysteresis in f
erroelectric phases. Minimum of thermal conductivity in the temperatur
e range in with overcritical trace of isomorphous phase transition and
the breaking of these dependence at ferroelectric structural phase tr
ansition at 312 K it was found. We suppose that anomaly of thermal con
ductivity at overcritical region is caused by phonon scattering on flu
ctuations of order parameter-spontaneous polarisation.
