Abstract
The thermal conductivity of the Spin-Peierls (SP) compound CuGeO3 was measured in magnetic fields up to 16 T. Above the SP transition, the heat transport due to spin excitations causes a peak at around 22 K, while below the transition the spin excitations rapidly diminish and the heat transport is dominated by phonons; however, the main scattering process of the phonons is with spin excitations, which demonstrates itself in an unusual peak in the thermal conductivity at about 5.5 K. This low-temperature peak is strongly suppressed with magnetic fields in excess of 12.5 T.
