The thermal conductivity of YbRh2Si2 has been measured down to very low temperatures under field in the basal plane. An additional channel for heat transport appears below 30 mK, both in the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic states, respectively,...

We report measurements of in-plane electrical and thermal transport properties in the limit T -> 0 near the unconventional quantum critical point in the heavy-fermion metal beta-YbAlB4. The high Kondo temperature T-K similar or equal to 200 K i...
The de Haas-van Alphen effect, which is a powerful method to explore Fermi surface properties, has been observed in cerium, uranium, and nowadays even in neptunium and plutonium compounds. Here, we present the results of several studies concerning...

We represent our recent advances on the study of the gap symmetry in UPt3 by thermal conductivity tensors kappa(ij) (i, j = x, y, z). The field-angle-resolved thermal conductivity kappa(zz) shows spontaneous twofold symmetry breaking in the gap fu...

We develop a physical understanding for how anhamonicity of lattice vibration affects transition temperature, T-c, of superconductivity mediated by phonons, via specific heat measurements on beta-pyrochlore oxide superconductors under high pressur...
