摘要
We present a study of heat and charge transport in Bi2+xSr2-xCuO6+delta focused on the size of the low-temperature linear term of the thermal conductivity at optimal-doping level. In the superconducting state, the magnitude of this term implies a d-wave gap with an amplitude close to what has been reported. In the normal state, recovered by the application of a magnetic field, measurement of this term and residual resistivity yields a Lorenz number L=kappa(Nrho0)/T=1.3+/-0.2L(0). The departure from the value expected by the Wiedemann-Franz law is thus slightly larger than our estimated experimental resolution.
