Outline of Final Research Achievements

In strongly correlated electron system, anomalous physical properties and exotic superconductivity often emerge near the quantum critical point(QCP) of ordered phase such as magnetic order, orbital order, and charge order. By using electron irradiation, we have observed synchronized shifts of magnetic QCP and high-temperature superconducting phase in iron-pnictide superconductors, suggesting the QCP may enhance superconductivity. In heavy-fermion superconductor CeCu2Si2, a prototypical superconductor which emerges near the magnetic QCP, we have suggested exotic mechanism through the systematic study using electron irradiation. In iron-chalcogenide FeSe, we have suppressed the orbital order by S substitution. Our studies have revealed that the superconducting state abruptly changes across the orbital QCP.
