Abstract
The thermal conductivity in the mixed state of Nb is not only a function of the average energy gap. An extra scattering arising from the spatial modulation of the gap must be considered. The characteristic minimum of thermal conductivity is influenced by magnetic hysteresis. This effect is explained byBean's model of flux-penetration. The forgoing results run out from measurements of thermal conductivity and magnetization of several niobium samples in a longitudinal magnetic field.
