Abstract

Values for the thermal conductivity κ and the thermal diffusivity D of four oxide single crystals were obtained. Near room temperature, the values for κ (W cm−1 K−1) and D (cm2 s−1) are as follows: LaAlO3, κ = 0.115, D = 0.0446; NdGaO3, κ = 0.068, D = 0.0197 for one structural orientation, and κ = 0.059, D = 0.0195 for an orthogonal orientation; (LaAlO3)0.3–SrAl0.5Ta0.5O3, κ = 0.051, D = 0.0133; and, ScAlMgO4, κ = 0.062, D = 0.0229. The relative standard uncertainties in these values are ±10% (1 σ). These values allowed us to calculate the specific heat of the materials. The thermal conductivity was measured by a dc heated bar method, and the thermal diffusivity was measured by a modification of Ångström's method.
