| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The origin of unusual heavy fermion formation under the strong valence fluctuations in α-, β-YbAlB4 has been investigated focusing on their strong anisotropy. We found the heavy fermion behavior is suppressed in the magnetic field above ~ 3 T only along the c-axis. In addition, we found a novel heavy fermion superconductivity arising from quantum fluctuation of f electron’s orbital degrees of freedom in PrV2Al20, which is a cage-like compound with a non-magnetic crystal electric field ground doublet.
