要　旨　：
The interplay of disorder and electronic correlations represents a　central issue of the physics of strongly correlated electron systems(SCES). The properties of SCES are extraordinarily sensitive to small levels of crystallographic disorder. This is attributed to the electronic correlations, which enhance the effect of the disorder. Correspondingly, disorder has been proposed to greatly modify or control the physical properties of SCES in very many cases. However, a thorough understanding of this issue is still lacking. Here, I present a detailed discussion of the effects of moderate crystallgraphic disorder on ground state and electronic transport properties of uranium heavy fermion compounds. For this class of systems disorder effects are particularly prominent, causing highly unusual spin glass, short range ordered or Non-Fermi Liquid ground states. From an experimental point of view, the central tasks are to determine the type and level of the disorder and to assess the influence of the disorder on the physical properties. I will address these questions within case studies on the U heavy fermion systems URh2Ge2, UPt2Si2 and related compounds.
