The peak in the thermal conductivity of copper-oxide superconductors: electronic or phononic origin?

Author(s) : UHER C., LIU Y., WHITAKER J. F.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The thermal conductivity of hole-doped copper-oxide plane high-critical temperature perovskites exhibits a dramatic increase below critical temperature. The authors critically examine experimental evidence and highlight relative advantages and shortcomings of the two contrasting interpretations. Furthermore, they draw attention to recently available data on the relaxation time of out-of-equilibrium carriers in copper-oxide superconductors obtained using pump-probe femtosecond laser studies and what new light they shed on the controversy.
