This book explains modern and interesting physics in heavy-fermion
(HF) compounds to graduate students and researchers in condensed
matter physics. It presents a theory of heavy-fermion (HF)
compounds such as HF metals, quantum spin liquids, quasicrystals
and two-dimensional Fermi systems. The basic low-temperature
properties and the scaling behavior of the compounds are described
within the framework of the theory of fermion condensation quantum
phase transition (FCQPT). Upon reading the book, the reader finds
that HF compounds with quite different microscopic nature exhibit
the same non-Fermi liquid behavior, while the data collected on
very different HF systems have a universal scaling behavior, and
these compounds are unexpectedly uniform despite their diversity.
For the reader's convenience, the analysis of compounds is carried
out in the context of salient experimental results. The numerous
calculations of the non-Fermi liquid behavior, thermodynamic,
relaxation and transport properties, being in good agreement with
experimental facts, offer the reader solid grounds to learn the
theory's applications. Finally, the reader will learn that FCQPT
develops unexpectedly simple, yet completely good description of HF
compounds.
