VI. The effect of a magnetic field on the heat conductivity of a superconductor

Abstract

Abstract A comparison is made between the heat conductivity data below 1 k hi which the specimens were exposed to the magnetizing field and those observations in which the specimens were shielded. The thermal resistance of a tin single crystal in which superconductivity was destroyed by a transverse magnetic field has been examined in detail. The results are discussed and an explanation for the heat conductivity minimum in the intermediate state is suggested.
