Abstract

We present precise measurements of in-plane thermal conductivity for superconducting single crystals of YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) withT c =92 and 60 K, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (BSCCO), and of Zn-doped YBCO. Magnetization and thermal conductivity data obtained with the same 90-K YBCO crystal demonstrate a close relationship between the magnetic thermal resistivity and the internal magnetic fieldB in a superconductor in the mixed state. For all superconductors studied here, the magnetic thermal resistivity is a sublinear function of magnetic field. The origins of the nonlinearity are discussed.
