Abstract:
Recent studies of properties of heavy quasiparticles have helped to
establish that f electrons and conduction electrons in the normal states
of certain U and Ce compounds are characterised by Fermi volumes
consistent with Luttingens Theorem and by integrated quasiparticle
masses which agree with measured linear coefficients of the specific
heat. Evidence is presented that this Fermi Liquid picture may, however,
break down when the ground state is near pressure or magnetic field
induced phase transitions.
