The thermal conductivity of solid cyclohexene C6H10 has been measured in two independent experiments in five different stable and metastable phase states: orientational glass (Ig), orientational glass (IIIg) with a partial order, dynamically orientationally disordered state (III) with a partial order, completely orientationally ordered phase (II) and ¡°plastic¡± phase (I). The measurements were carried out at saturated vapor pressure in the temperature range 2-120 K and at isochoric conditions in ¡°plastic¡± and orientationally ordered phases on samples of different densities. The isochoric thermal conductivity of ¡°plastic¡± phase increases smoothly with temperature. It can be attributed to weakening of the translational orientational coupling which, in turn, leads to a decrease in phonon scattering on rotational excitations. The thermal conductivity of cyclohexene measured at saturated vapor pressure exhibits a similar behavior in phases Ig, IIIg, and II. At low temperatures (T<8 K) the thermal conductivity tends to T2 dependence, passes through a maximum and decreases further with increasing temperature following the dependence, which is somewhat different from 1/T. It was found that the thermal conductivity can be represented as a sum of two contributions ¦Ê(T)=¦Ê1(T)+¦Ê2(T), where ¦Ê1(T) is due to propagating phonons whose mean-free path exceeds half the phonon wavelength, and ¦Ê2(T) is attributed to localized short-wavelength or ¡°diffusive¡± vibrational modes.
