Thermal conductivity of BaZrO 3 and KTaO 3 single crystals

BaZrO 3 and KTaO 3 are two rare examples of perovskite oxides that retain the ideal cubic structure down to the lowest temperature. In this paper, we report thermal conductivity ( κ ) between 300 and 773 K on single crystals of these compounds. For BaZrO 3 , the κ of 7.5 Wm −1 K −1 at 300 K is ∼40%...

Description
Summary:BaZrO 3 and KTaO 3 are two rare examples of perovskite oxides that retain the ideal cubic structure down to the lowest temperature. In this paper, we report thermal conductivity ( κ ) between 300 and 773 K on single crystals of these compounds. For BaZrO 3 , the κ of 7.5 Wm −1 K −1 at 300 K is ∼40% larger than the previously reported polycrystalline values. For KTaO 3 , our value of 13.1 Wm −1 K −1 at 300 K clarifies the sources of error in some of the previously reported data. These results underscore the importance of high-quality experimental data in benchmarking the accuracy of advanced first-principles κ calculations.
