Abstract
We present measurements of the thermal conductivity of Cu and Cu. The results on the pure sample show that lattice conduction is predominant with a dependence at low temperatures and a strong -independent scattering above 30 K. We observe a similar behavior for the superconductor but with a law at low temperature and a small electronic contribution in the normal state. These results together with the behavior of the specific heat and sound attenuation are consistent with the existence of a two-level tunneling system for an amorphous state.
