N2 - We have measured the thermal conductivity K in the two-dimensional plane of SrCu2-xZnx(BO3)2 (x = 0, 0.02) and Cu3-xZnxB2O6 (x = 0, 0.03) single-crystals grown by the floating-zone method. It has been found that the temperature dependence of k exhibits an anomalous peak in the spin-gap state of SrCu2(BO3)2 and also in the antiferromagnetically ordered state of Cu3B2O 6. Through the partial substitution of Zn for Cu, the peak does not change in the former, while it is strongly reduced in the latter. It is concluded that the peaks observed in SrCu2(BO3) 2 and Cu3B2O6 are caused by the enhancement of K due to phonons and magnons, respectively.
