Abstract: | Novel types of ground states associated with properties of heavy fermion systems are derived for crystals with covalent bonds generated by short-range exchange forces between valence electrons of atoms localized at lattice sites. It is shown that the short-range exchange forces can give rise to a narrow energy band in which electrons can exhibit an enormous effective mass. The same exchange forces provide the microscopic mechanism for spin-singlet pairing of electrons into Cooper pairs which are responsible for superconductivity in these systems. This superconductivity exhibits several different anisotropic superconducting states. The effective mass, Fermi energy, specific heat, Pauli susceptibility, critical temperatures and critical magnetic field of heavy fermion systems are calculated and compared with experimental data.The authors thank Dr. .
