Abstract

The thermal conductivity κ of Yb₄(As_1-xP _x)₃ (x = 0 and 0.3) was measured in the temperature range between 0.1 and 7 K in applied magnetic fields up to 8 T. The fact that κ(7) follows, between 0.4 and 3 K, the relation aT + bT² confirms our earlier interpretation of the dominating role of magnons both as heat carriers and as scatterers for the phonons. Above 1 K, κ decreases with increasing magnetic field, the opening of a gap in the magnon-excitation spectrum being a possible explanation of this behavior.
