| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The heavy-fermion systems such as Ce or Yb based compounds have been expected as a candidate for next generation high performance thermoelectric materials. In this study, we have investigated the thermoelectric properties such as electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient of several heavy-fermion systems. In addition, by means of photoemission spectroscopy with a wide range of excitation energy, we have clarified the relationship between electronic structure and thermoelectric properties in heavy fermion materials. The present results can provide a guideline to tune the thermoelectric properties in heavy-fermion systems.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
重い電子系は，これまで主に基礎研究の分野で扱われてきたが，優れた機能性が眠っている可能性は高いと考えられている．その代表例が本研究の主題である熱電材料への応用である．本研究で得られた成果は，重い電子系を次世代の熱電材料として応用する上で，その熱電特性を制御するための指針を与え得る．したがって本研究は，伝統的な基礎研究対象を応用研究対象に拡張するものであり，ここに極めて重要な学際的意義がある．
