| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to understand quantum criticality and anomalous electronic states near a quantum critical point (QCP) in quantum critical materials, we studied the specific heat, Seebeck coefficient, Nernst coefficient, and thermal conductivity of Yb-based strongly correlated electron systems under multi-extreme condition, such as low temperature, high field, and high pressure. Based on these results, we demonstrated the validity of Wiedemann-Franz law even around QCP and also clarified transport properties near metamagnetic transition in YbCo2Zn20，YbRh2Si2，β-YbAlB4. In addition, by means of the new analysis such as the ratio of the Seebeck coefficient to the specific heat, we succeeded to get crucial information for understanding the electronic states near QCP.
