Abstract

The thermal conductivity κ of pure He3 and of two dilute solutions of He3 in He4 has been measured from 30 down to 5 mdeg K or below. For pure He3, κT increases with increasing temperature. For the dilute solutions at low enough temperatures, κ is consistent with the T1 temperature dependence of a normal Fermi liquid, but the magnitudes of κT do not agree with values computed from an effective potential based on spin-diffusion coefficient measurements.
