The book on Heavy-Fermion Systems is a part of the Book series
"Handbook of Metal Physics", each volume of which is written to
facilitate the research of Ph.D. students, faculty and other
researchers in a specific area. The Heavy-Fermions (sometimes known as
Heavy-Electrons) is a loosely defined collection of intermetallic
compounds containing rare-earth (mostly Ce) or actinide (mostly U)
elements. These unusual names were given due to the large effective
mass (100-1,000 times greater than the mass of a free electron) below
a critical temperature. They have a variety of ground states including
superconducting, antiferromagnetic, paramagnetic or semiconducting.
Some display unusual magnetic properties such as magnetic quantum
critical point and metamagnetism. This book is essentially a summary
as well as a critical review of the theoretical and experimental work
done on Heavy Fermions.
· Extensive research references.
· Comprehensive review of a very rapidly growing number of theories.
· Summary of all important experiments.
· Comparison with other highly correlated systems such as High-Tc
Superconductors.
· Possible Technological applications.
