Fermi liquid theory forms the basis for our understanding of the majority of metals, which is manifested in the description of transport properties that the electrical resistivity goes as temperature squared in the limit of zero…
We report on single crystal growth and physical properties of the quantum critical Kondo-lattice system YbNi$_4$(P$_{1-x}$As$_{x}$)$_2$ with $0\leq x\leq 1$ which hosts a ferromagnetic quantum critical point at $x \approx 0.1$. We performed…
We report far-infrared optical properties of YbRh$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ for photon energies down to 2 meV and temperatures 0.4 -- 300 K. In the coherent heavy quasiparticle state, a linear dependence of the low-energy scattering rate on both…
A realization of heavy fermion state is investigated on the basis of two-band Hubbard model. By means of the slave-boson mean-field approximation, it is shown that for the intermediate electron density, n_e=1.5, the inter-band Coulomb…
We report on the structural, thermodynamic and transport properties of high-quality single crystals of YbNiSi3 grown by the flux method. This compound crystallizes in the SmNiGe3 layered structure type of the Cmmm space group. The general…
Strongly correlated materials feature multiple electronic orbitals which are crucial to accurately understand their many-body properties, from cuprate materials to twisted bilayer graphene. In such multi-band models, quantum interference…
We present a study on the magnetic susceptibility $\chi(T)$ and electrical resistance, as a function of temperature and magnetic field $R(T,H)$, of the ferromagnetic heavy fermion YbNi$_2$. The X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the…
Electronic flat bands associated with quenched kinetic energy and heavy electron mass have attracted great interest for promoting strong electronic correlations and emergent phenomena such as high-temperature charge fractionalization and…
We present here the results of electrical resistivity {\rho}, magnetization M, ac susceptibility \c{hi}ac', and specific heat CM measurements that have been carried out on single crystals of Yb3Pt4 over a wide range of fields and…
The heavy fermion (HF) state of $d$-electron systems is of great current interest since it exhibits various exotic phases and phenomena that are reminiscent of the Kondo effect in $f$-electron HF systems. Here, we present a combined…
An explanation is given for the observed magnetic-field dependence of the low-temperature specific heat coefficient of Yb(4)As(3). It is based on a recently developed model for that material which can explain the observed heavy-fermion…
We discuss a series of thermodynamic, magnetic and electrical transport experiments on the two heavy fermion compounds CeNi2Ge2 and YbRh2Si2 in which magnetic fields, B, are used to tune the systems from a Non-Fermi liquid (NFL) into a…
A recent experiment has observed the antiferromagnetic interaction between the ground state $^1S_0$ and the metastable state $^3P_0$ of $^{171}$Yb atoms, which are fermionic. This observation combined with the use of state-dependent optical…
$First-principles$ density functional theory computations of electronic structure and local magnetic properties of the non-fluctuating ground state of Ni$_x$Pd$_{1-x}$ alloy system around its quantum critical point $x_c = 0.026$ have been…
There are two prerequisites for understanding high-temperature (high-T$_c$) superconductivity: identifying the pairing interaction and a correct description of the normal state from which superconductivity emerges. The nature of the normal…
Here, we study YbI$_3$, a quasi-2D layered material with Yb atoms arranged on an ideal honeycomb network of edge-sharing YbI$_6$ octahedra, analogous to the low-temperature phase of $\alpha-$RuCl$_3$. High quality single crystals of YbI$_3$…
Informative recent measurements on the heavy-fermion metal $\rm \beta-YbAlB_4$ performed with applied magnetic field and pressure as control parameters are analyzed with the goal of establishing a sound theoretical explanation for the…
We critically examine the non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior observed in heavy fermion systems located close to a magnetic instability and suggest a conceptual advance in physics in order to explain its origin. We argue that the treatment of…
A series of strong anomalies in the thermoelectric power is observed in the heavy fermion compound YbRh$_2$Si$_2$ under the effect of magnetic field varying in the range from 9.5~T to 13~T. We identify these features with a sequence of…
Intermetallic compounds containing $f$-electron elements have been prototypical materials for investigating strong electron correlations and quantum criticality (QC). Their heavy fermion ground state evoked by the magnetic $f$-electrons is…
