Abstract
The measured thermal conductivities of large bars (30 cm. x 1.2 cm2) of single crystal zinc obey the Voigt-Thomson symmetry relation. The ratio of the conductivities perpendicular and parallel to the axis is 1.057. Since this agrees with the ratio of the similar electrical conductivities the Wiedemann-Franz ratio is the same for all directions in the crystal. This ratio agrees within 10 per cent with the value predicted by the Sommerfeld theory.
