It was recently demonstrated that in La2-xSrxCuO4 the magnetic-field (H) dependence of the low-temperature thermal conductivity kappa up to 16 T reflects whether the normal state under high magnetic field is a metal or an insulator. We measure the H dependence of kappa in YBa(2)Cu(3)O(y) (YBCO) at subkelvin temperatures for …
