Abstract
Long ago it was theoretically shown that the electronic thermal conductivity κel of Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductors freezes out below superconducting critical temperature Tc [1, 2, 3]. On the contrary, the lattice thermal conductivity κph grows with decreasing temperature, T; the larger phonon mean free path stemming from the exponential drop of the quasiparticle number for T → 0. Therefore, the overall quantity κ(T) = κel(T) + κph(T) may be either monotonie or non-monotonie depending on the details of electron and phonon scattering mechanisms. Experimental data for low-Tc superconductors qualitatively agree with the theory [2, 3, 4].
