Convective heat transfer in layered high-Tc superconductors
Genenko Yu. A., Medvedev Yu. V.
The convective heat flux in a planar or layered high-T^ superconductor is not determined exclusively by the ordinary transfer of thermal energy by normal excitations. It is also determined by a flux of macroscopic excitations of a vortex type, which carry the excess entropy of electrons localized in the vortex cores.
