I hadn't noticed that the magnetic resistivity routine returns both components. It seems that extracting some code from there might allow implementation of anisotropic thermal conduction. There<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline"> is a pitfall that must be avoided, which is that under certain conditions of the orientation of the temperature gradient and magnetic field, you can get heat being conducted in the wrong direction.
