We present high-frequency ultrasonic measurements on the filled skutterudite SmOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$ under hydrostatic pressure. The results clarify that the 4$f$ electrons in this compound transform from delocalized at ambient pressure to localized at high pressures with a crossover pressure of approximately 0.7 GPa. This drastic change in the 4$f$ electrons under pressure is apparently related to the non-Fermi liquid state, which appears in an intermediate-pressure range of 0.5-1.5 GPa. The results or our analysis strongly suggest that the ferro-octupolar interaction becomes dominant at high pressure. Moreover, we report the pressure dependence of the ultrasonic dispersion, which is due to rattling, over a wide range of ultrasonic frequencies up to 323 MHz. The drastic change in the ultrasonic dispersions and the frequency dependent elastic anomaly in the $C_{11}$ mode at lower temperatures imply a possible coupling between rattling phonons and 4$f$ electrons.
Elastic properties of the filled skutterudite compound SmOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$ have been investigated by ultrasonic measurements. The elastic constant $C_{11}(omega)$ shows two ultrasonic dispersions at $sim$15 K and $sim$53 K for frequencies $omega$ betwe
This paper reports recent progress of ultrasonic measurements on URu$_2$Si$_2$, including ultrasonic measurements under hydrostatic pressure, in pulsed-magnetic fields, and the effect of Rh-substitution. The observed changes of the elastic responses
We report the experimental demonstration of a class of ultrasonic metasurfaces made of patterned silicon thin wafers partially covered by Si3N4 film that exhibit over 24 dB of sound transmission loss around 0.7 MHz, which is caused by the cancelation
Cerium (Ce)-based heavy-fermion materials have a characteristic double-peak structure (mid-IR peak) in the optical conductivity [$sigma(omega)$] spectra originating from the strong conduction ($c$)--$f$ electron hybridization. To clarify the behavior
The elastic properties of URu$_2$Si$_2$ in the high-magnetic field region above 40 T, over a wide temperature range from 1.5 to 120 K, were systematically investigated by means of high-frequency ultrasonic measurements. The investigation was performe
