Transport experiments in principle provide access to the investigation of exotic entropy carrying quasiparticles in quantum magnets, such as spinons in spin chains, triplons in spin ladders and Majorana fermions and visons in spin liquids. Generally, the thermal conductivity of an insulating, magnetic compound consists of phononic and magnetic contributions: κxx = κxx,ph + κxx,mag.
Thus, measurement of κxx can offer a fine grasp of the above mentioned quasiparticles, which are currently under hot debate in the field of solid state physics.
Here we address heat transport experiments at elevated temperature which becomes important in materials with sizeable exchange interactions J/kB 100 K. It is well known that standard steady state heat transport measurements are difficult for T ≥ 200 K due to inevitable radiation losses. We present Laser Flash Analysis as a method for avoiding this problem. The method will be introduced, and initial results on various quantum materials will be discussed.
