Pressure is the cleanest way to tune heavy fermion systems to a quantum phase transition in order to study the rich physics and competing phases, and the comparison between ytterbium and cerium systems is particularly fruitful. We briefly review the mechanisms in play and show some examples of expected and unexpected behaviour. We emphasize the importance of the valence changes under pressure and show how modern synchrotron techniques can accurately determine this, including at low temperature.

The Meccano of heavy fermion systems is shown on different cases going from anomalous monochalcogenides to cerium intermetallic compounds with special focus on the ideal case of the CeRu2Si2 series. Discussion is made in the frame of the interplay be
tween valence, electronic structure (Fermi surface), and magnetism. The nice tools given by the temperature, the pressure, and the magnetic field allow to explore different ground states as well as the slow downhill race before reaching a Fermi liquid finish line at very low temperature. Experimentally, the Gruneisen parameter i.e. the ratio of the thermal expansion by the specific heat is a coloured magic number; its temperature, pressure, and magnetic field dependence is a deep disclosure of competing hierarchies and the conversion of this adaptive matter to external responses.
In an effort to explore the differences between rare-earth-based and uranium-based heavy Fermion (HF) compounds that reflect the underlying difference between local 4$f$ moments and itinerant 5$f$ moments we analyze scaling laws that relate the low t
emperature neutron spectra of the primary (Kondo-esque) spin fluctuation to the specific heat and susceptibility. While the scaling appears to work very well for the rare earth intermediate valence compounds, for a number of key uranium compounds the scaling laws fail badly. There are two main reasons for this failure. First, the presence of antiferromagnetic (AF) fluctuations, which contribute significantly to the specific heat, alters the scaling ratios. Second, the scaling laws require knowledge of the high temperature moment degeneracy, which is often undetermined for itinerant 5$f$ electrons. By making plausible corrections for both effects, better scaling ratios are obtained for some uranium compounds. We point out that while both the uranium HF compounds and the rare earth intermediate valence (IV) compounds have spin fluctuation characteristic energies of order 5 - 25 meV, they differ in that the AF fluctuations that are usually seen in the U compounds are never seen in the rare earth IV compounds. This suggests that the 5f itineracy increases the f-f exchange relative to the rare earth case.
NdFeAsO0.88F0.12 belongs to the recently discovered family of high-TC iron-based superconductors. The influence of high pressure on transport properties of this material has been studied. Contrary to La-based compounds, we did not observe a maximum i
n TC under pressure. Under compression, TC drops rapidly as a linear function of pressure with the slope k = -2.8 pm 0.1 K / GPa. The extrapolated value of TC at zero pressure is about TC (0) = 51.7 pm 0.4 K. At pressures higher than ~18.4 GPa, the superconducting state disappears at all measured temperatures. The resistance changes slope and shows a turn-up behavior, which may be related to the Kondo effect or a weak localization of two-dimensional carriers below ~45 K that is above TC and thus competing with the superconducting phase. The behavior of the sample is completely reversible at the decompression. On the bases of our experimental data, we propose a tentative P-T phase diagram of NdFeAsO0.88F0.12.
In-field DC and AC magnetization measurements were carried out on a sigma-phase Fe55Re45 intermetallic compound aimed at determination of the magnetic phase diagram in the H-T plane. Field cooled, M_FC, and zero-field cooled, M_ZFC, DC magnetization
curves were measured in the magnetic field, H, up to 1200 Oe. AC magnetic susceptibility measurements were carried out at a constant frequency of 1465 Hz under DC fields up to H=500 Oe. The obtained results provide evidences for re-entrant magnetism in the investigated sample. The magnetic phase diagrams in the H-T plane have been outlined based on characteristic temperatures determined from the DC and AC measurements. The phase diagrams are similar yet not identical. The main difference is that in the DC diagram constructed there are two cross-over transitions within the strong-irreversibility spin-glass state, whereas in the AC susceptibility based diagram only one transition is observed. The border lines (irreversibility, cross-over) can be described in terms of the power laws.
In quasi-2D quantum magnets the ratio of Neel temperature $T_text N$ to Curie-Weiss temperature $Theta_text{CW}$ is frequently used as an empirical criterion to judge the strength of frustration. In this work we investigate how these quantities are r
elated in the canonical quasi-2D frustrated square or triangular $J_1$-$J_2$ model. Using the self-consistent Tyablikov approach for calculating $T_text N$ we show their dependence on the frustration control parameter $J_2/J_1$ in the whole Neel and columnar antiferromagnetic phase region. We also discuss approximate analytical results. In addition the field dependence of $T_text N(H)$ and the associated possible reentrance behavior of the ordered moment due to quantum fluctuations is investigated. These results are directly applicable to a class of quasi-2D oxovanadate antiferromagnets. We give clear criteria to judge under which conditions the empirical frustration ratio $f=Theta_text{CW}/T_text N$ may be used as measure of frustration strength in the quasi-2D quantum magnets.
