Abstract
The thermal conductivity κ of high density La2−xMxCuO4 (M=Ba, Sr) sintered materials was measured between 15K and 150K for the various concentrations of Ba and the phonon thermal conductivity was analyzed comparing with that of Nd2−xCexCuO4. The pretty large κ value for pure La2CuO4 was drastically diminished by substituting La by a small amount of Ba atoms especially at low temperatures. It was found that a new type of the phonon scattering center such as a two-level tunneling must be taken account of in order to explain the observed κ reduction.
