Abstract:
Recent progresses using state-of-the-art experimental techniques have motivated a number of new insights on heavy fermion physics. This article gives a brief summary of the author's research along this direction. We discuss five major topics including: (1) development of phase coherence and two-stage hybridization; (2) two-fluid behavior and hidden universal scaling; (3) quantum phase transitions and fractionalized heavy fermion liquid; (4) quantum critical superconductivity; (5) material-specific properties. These cover the most essential parts of heavy fermion physics and lead to an emerging global picture beyond conventional theories based on mean-field or local approximations.
