Abstract The temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity k(T) and electrical resistivity ρ(T) has been measured for perovskite Nd0.7Sr0.3Mn1-xCrxO3 (0.01≤x ≤0.15) in the temperature range of 10--300K. The double-bump feature in ρ(T) is observed for x=0.08 and 0.10 samples. Below the insulating-metallic transition temperature TIM, k(T) shows a sharp increase and such an increase is depressed gradually by the increasing Cr content. While k(T) displays an anomalous decrease around the temperature where the second bump of ρ(T) emerges. We suggest that the enhancement of k(T) below TIM is related to both phonons and magnons, the ferromagnetic interaction of Mn3+-O-Cr3+ should be super-exchange interaction rather than double-exchange interaction, and the Cr doping just weakens the DE interaction in this system.
