Abstract

The pressure response of strongly correlated 4f and 5f intermetallic compounds is reviewed briefly. Special attention is given to the similarities and differences among isostructural U-, Ce- and Yb-based analogues. In general, pressure favors reduced electronic correlations in U- and Ce-based materials, whereas the opposite holds for Yb-based systems. A simple model is discussed that qualitatively accounts for these observations.
