Abstract

We have measured the temperature dependence of the in-plane thermal conductivity, κ_ab(T), for both Er-Ba-Cu-O and Ho-Ba-Cu-O superconducting bulks. The absolute values of κ_ab(T) for both bulks are smaller than that of Y-Ba-Cu-O bulk, but are larger than that of Dy-Ba-Cu-O bulk, which is known to show an anomalous small κ_ab. κ_ab(T) for Ho-Ba-Cu-O shows a positive slope (dκ_ab/dT>0) in the normal state, similarly to that for Dy-Ba-Cu-O. On the other hand, a slightly negative slope (dκ_ab/ dT<0) is found for Er-Ba-Cu-O. The out-of-plane thermal conductivity, κ_c, was also measured for Er-Ba-Cu-O bulk, and the anisotropy in the thermal conductivity, (κ_ab/κ_c), was estimated to be about 2.
