The book on Heavy-Fermion Systems is a part of the book series "Handbook of Metal Physics". students, faculty and other researchers in a specific area. The Heavy-Fermions (sometimes known as Heavy-Electrons) is a loosely defined collection of intermetallic compounds containing rare-earth (mostly Ce) or actinide (mostly U) elements. These unusual names were given due to the large effective mass (100-1,000 times greater than the mass of a free electron) below a critical temperature. They have a superconducting, antiferromagnetic, paramagnetic or semiconducting. Some display unusual magnetic properties such as magnetic quantum critical point and metamagnetism. This book is essentially a summary of the theoretical and experimental work done on Heavy Fermions.

· Extensive research references.

· Comprehensive review of a very rapidly growing number of theories.

· Summary of all important experiments.

· Comparison with other highly correlated systems such as High-Tc Superconductors.

· Possible Technological applications.
