This thesis focuses on the study of the electronic thermal conductivity of the Thallium Calcium-Barium-Copper-Oxide (Tl2Ca2Ba2Cu3O10) superconductor by using the energy
dispersion relation function, Boltzmann transport equation, and Bose-Einstein and
Fermi-Dirac distribution functions. In addition, the electronic heat current density, the
total energy, the electronic heat capacity, and the electronic thermal conductivity of the
optically active phonon modes will be discussed. In a normal state of a Tl2Ca2Ba2Cu3O10
superconductor, the electronic heat capacity is directly proportional to the temperature,
whereas, in a superconducting state, it is an exponentially decreasing curve. When it
reaches critical temperature, it loses and is superconducting and converts into a normal
conductor. The thermal conductivity of Tl2Ca2Ba2Cu3O10 in a normal state is directly
proportional to the temperature, whereas, in a superconducting state, its graph is an
exponentially increasing curve up to the critical temperature. When we consider the
energy gap parameter, the dependency of electronic thermal conductivity on the
temperature contains a term in addition to the linear T term.
