Times Cited Count：4 Percentile：22.76(Physics, Condensed Matter)In order to clarify what types of spin and orbital fluctuations dominate over low-temperature electronic properties of Pr-based filled skutterudites, we evaluate multipole susceptibility based on a multiorbital Anderson model constructed from a 
- coupling scheme. It is found that magnetic and quadrupole fluctuations are dominant at low temperatures. When we further include the effect of rattling as dynamical Jahn-Teller phonons, there remain quadrupole and octupole fluctuations, which may induce exotic superconducting pairing.

Times Cited Count：40 Percentile：81.37(Physics, Multidisciplinary)A mechanism of non-magnetic Kondo effect is proposed on the basis of a multiorbital Anderson model coupled with dynamical Jahn-Teller (JT) phonons. An electron system coupled dynamically with JT phonons has a vibronic ground state with double degeneracy due to clockwise and anti-clockwise rotational modes with entropy of 
. When a temperature is lower than a characteristic energy to turn the rotational direction, the rotational degree of freedom is eventually suppressed and the corresponding entropy is released, leading to quasi-Kondo behavior. We discuss possible relevance of this quasi-Kondo phenomenon to electronic properties of filled skutterudites.

For =3 and 5, octupole fluctuations are found to be significant, depending on the crystalline electric field potential. We discuss possible relevance of the results to actual materials.

Times Cited Count：25 Percentile：72.91(Physics, Multidisciplinary)In order to understand electronic properties of filled skutterudite materials, the Anderson model is analyzed by using the numerical renormalization group method to evaluate magnetic susceptibility and entropy of electron for each case of =113, where is the number of electrons per rare-earth ion. For the 
-electron system corresponding to the Pr-based filled skutterudite, it is found that magnetic fluctuations significantly remain at low temperatures, even when the ground state is 
singlet, if 
triplet is the excited state with small excitation energy. By analyzing an orbital degenerate Hubbard model constructed based on the - coupling scheme, we find that anisotropic Cooper-pair mediated by magnetic fluctuations appears in a limited region in which the singlet and triplet ground states are interchanged.

Times Cited Count：15 Percentile：62.72(Physics, Multidisciplinary)In order to clarify magnetic properties of filled skutterudites, we analyze the Anderson model including seven orbitals hybridized with an 
conduction band using a numerical technique. For =2 corresponding to Pr-based filled skutterudites, where is the local -electron number, even if the ground state is a singlet, there remain significant magnetic fluctuations from a triplet state with a small excitation energy. This result can be understood by the fact that -electron states are clearly distinguished as itinerant and localized ones in the filled skutterudite structure. This picture also explains the complex results for -electron magnetic susceptibility and entropy for =113.

We have carried out high-pressure neutron magnetic diffraction experiments and high-pressure transport measurements on filled skutterudite compound PrFeP under identical pressurization conditions up to 5.5 GPa. This compound shows metal-to-insulator transition at 2.4 GPa and simultaneously antiferromagnetic transition. At first, the metal-to-insulator transition is thought to be a kind of Slater transition accompanied by the antiferromagnetic transition. According to the analysis of resistivity data, we, however, found the insulator state arose from the hybridization between f-electrons of Pr ions and conduction electrons. Furthermore, the hybridization gap grows up to about 4 GPa and in reversal shrinks with increasing pressure. On the other hand, the pressure dependence of the antiferromagnetic transition temperature appears to show negative correlation to that of the gap. We can not interpret the behavior microscopically at present, but, predict that this is closely related to the Fermi surface instability of this compound.
