| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have investigated the valence fluctuations and magnetically ordered states of the f-electron systems, and the effects of them on the electronic state such as the effective mass.
First, we have studied an extended periodic Anderson model with the Coulomb interaction Ucf between f and conduction electrons. Then, we have found that while the valence changes monotonically with the f-electron level, the effective mass changes nonmonotonically when Ucf is large.
We have also investigated the electronic states under a magnetic field and/or with a magnetic order in the ordinary periodic Anderson model. We have found transitions accompanying changes in the Fermi-surface topology, called Lifshitz transitions, in the magnetically ordered states.
