Thermal properties of Y3Al5O12, GdVO4, and YVO4
We have measured thermal conductivity of Y<sub>3</sub>Al<sub>5</sub>O<sub>12</sub>, GdVO<sub>4</sub>, and YVO<sub>4</sub>. It was found that YVO<sub>4</sub> has larger thermal conductivity than GdVO<sub>4</sub>. Nd<sup>3+</sup>-doping effect in thermal conductivity and thermal expansion ratio have been also discussed.
