Abstract
We present the results of a microscopic calculation of the longitudinal the rmal conductivity of quasiparticles, kappa (xx), in a 2D d-wave superconduc tor in the vortex state. Our approach takes into account both impurity scat tering and a contribution to the thermal transport lifetime due to the scat tering of quasiparticles off of vortices. We compare the results with the e xperimental measurements on high-T-c cuprates and organic superconductors.
