A comprehensive study of the low-temperature properties of YbNi$_4$Mg has revealed evidence of a superheavy-fermion state, characterized by a large electronic specific-heat coefficient $\gamma_0$ $\approx$ 5.65 J mol$^{-1}$ K$^{-2}$ and an…

Transport, magnetic and thermal properties at high magnetic fields (H) and low temperatures (T) of the heavy fermion compound CeAuSb_2 are reported. At H=0 this layered system exhibits antiferromagnetic order below T_N = 6 K. Applying B…

Substitution of nickel by copper in the heavy fermion system CeNi$_{9-x}$Cu$_x$Ge$_4$ alters the local crystal field environment of the Ce$^{3+}$-ions. This leads to a quantum phase transition near $x\approx0.4$, which is not only driven by…
