Abstract
Specific heat, resistivity, thermal conductivity and thermoelectric power measurements are reported for the normal and superconducting regimes of the heavy-fermion superconductor UPt3. A comparison is made with uranium-based spin-fluctuation and cerium-based Kondo-lattice compounds.

An upper limit of the phonon part to κ s (T) can be obtained by taking into account scattering of the phonons from grain boundaries only (“size effect”). Using the average grain size of 50 μm as determined for our polycrystalline sample, we estimate that at the lowest temperature the phonons contribute only a few % to the heat transport in the superconducting state
