Abstract
Abstract We measured the specific heat (C P ), the thermal diffusion (η) and thermal conductivity (κ) of single crystals La 1−x Sr x MnO 3 (x = 0, 0.175, and 0.20), depending on the temperature and magnetic field. It is shown that in the behavior of κ(T) and η(T) near T С the lows are observed due to phonons scattering by the fluctuations of the magnetic (and the structural) order parameter. The magnetic field suppresses fluctuations, increases thermal conductivity and shifts the critical temperature towards high T. In the behavior of κ(T) and η(T) around T S = 200 K for the composition with x = 0.175 the are anomalies observed associated with a structural transition from the rhombohedral (R) to the orthorhombic (O*) phase. The anomaly observed in the κ(T) dependence in antiferromagnet LaMnO 3 near T N is associated with the presence of the magnetic contribution to thermal conductivity.
