... Thermalconductivity of single crystal Tl 2 Ba 2 CuO 6 (Tl-2201) in Applied magnetic fields. Abstract: . We report the dependence of the thermal conductivity k(H,T) of single crystal Tl-2201 samples on both magnetic field and temperature. The sample have a superconducting phase transition temperature Tc=86K. We develop a two component method to analyze the magnetic field dependence of thermal conductivity. ...
