The thermal conductivity of a material is a measure of its ability to conduct heat and is a powerful probe of material properties.
Thermal conductivity at low temperature is a powerful probe that can reveal details of the electronic structure of novel and quantum materials. For example, it can be used to study the energy gap of unconventional superconductors. At the Maglab, we offer thermal conductivity measurements up to 16 T at 2 K using the Quantum Design PPMS.
