An investigation of low energy quasiparticle excitations via thermal conductivity measurements

Thermal conductivity measurements are made on a variety of systems in order to probe low energy quasiparticle excitations. In particular, thermal conductivity measurements were made on the iron based superconducting material LaFePO at temperatures from 60 mK to 1 K and in fields from 0 T to 5 T in...
