摘要
We report the results of optical studies of new heavy fermion compounds YbFe4Sb12 and CeRu4Sb12. We show that these compounds, as well as several other heavy fermion materials with a nonmagnetic ground state, obey a universal scaling relationship between the quasiparticle effective mass m* and the magnitude of the energy gap Delta in the excitation spectrum. This result is in accord with the picture of hybridization of localized f-electron and free carrier states. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.684.
