We report the de Haas--van Alphen (dHvA) experiment on the filled skutterudite ${\mathrm{PrFe}}_{4}{\mathrm{P}}_{12}$ exhibiting apparent Kondo-like behaviors in the transport and thermal properties. We have found enormously enhanced cyclotron effective mass ${m}_{\mathrm{c}}^{*}=81{m}_{0}$ in the high field phase, which indicates that ${\mathrm{PrFe}}_{4}{\mathrm{P}}_{12}$ is the first Pr compound in which really heavy …
