    Magnetic properties of rare-earth compounds have attracted much
    attention due to the variety of ground states they exhibit, ranging
    from metallic and semiconducting behavior with localized
    f-electrons, through heavy-fermion superconductors, metallic Kondo
    lattices and Kondo insulators, to itinerant f-electron magnetism.

    In Japan our group was the first to start to study these topics and
    the results obtained so far have contributed much to the
    understanding of the fundamental aspects of solid state physics.
    There are two ways to develop this field of physics: One way is to
    purify the known samples and to investigate physical properties in
    more detail. The other way is to search for new compounds and to
    build up new concepts of physics. In our group we have many kinds of
    apparatus to grow crystals (for example, a high-frequency induction
furnace, an infrared mirror imaging furnace and an arc-melting
furnace) and several measuring systems allow the investigation of the
interesting transport and magnetic properties. Up to now we have mainly
studied binary rare-earth compounds which contain boron element. Such
    compounds exhibit a variety of exciting phenomena like Kondo
    insulator, heavy Fermion and dense Kondo behavior.
