Abstract

The superconductivity fluctuation contribution κfl to the thermal conductivity of a Bi2Sr1.8Ca1.2Cu2O8+y polycrystal is extracted from precise experimental data. The crossover from two-dimensional (2D) to 3D behavior theoretically predicted by Varlamov and Livanov is well marked. The crossover temperature TVL and the amplitude of the fluctuation contribution lead to realistic values for the interlayer coupling energy JC and the transport relaxation time τ near Tc.
