Abstract
High-temperature thermal properties of three neighboring rare-earth scandates DyScO, TbScO and GdScO were compared to LaSrAlTaO (LSAT) and sapphire. To calculate thermal conductivity, heat capacity and thermal diffusivity were measured by differential scanning calorimetry and laser flash technique, respectively. DyScO and TbScO showed an untypical rise in the thermal conductivity above 900\,K, while for GdScO, LSAT and sapphire the expected decrease at elevated temperatures could be observed. These results lead to the proposal of a new type of heat transport by migrating ions.
