No, barium is not a particularly good thermal conductor. Among elements it is rated number just about in the middle, number 55 from the top.
Thermal conductors are rated by W/cmK. Without going into the explanation, a higher number represents a better conductor, and 0.0 means no conductivity at all. Barium is rated at 0.186 W/cmK. By comparison, copper, which is second best as a thermal conductor among elements, is rated at 4.01 W/cmK.
