- NEH assisted in the high-pressure growth, preparation and characterization of the Y124 single crystals whose thermal conductivity was measured to high magnetic fields. The preparation involved mounting electrical contacts on the single crystalline samples and complementary electrical resistivity measurements in order to identify the superconducting transition and direction of current flow within the electrically anisotropic crystals. It was important that the high-field thermal conductivity measurements were performed with the current flow orthogonal to the conducting chains and therefore representative of the thermal response of the copper-oxide planes.
