Valence skipping phenomena, charge Kondo effect, and superconductivity

Abstract We review a recent progress of a superconductivity and a charge Kondo effect mediated by valence skippers which are elements skipping the valence state. To understand the valence skipping phenomenon, we introduce a negative-U effect phenomenologically, and we show an origin of the negative-...
