Abstract
Theory for temperature dependent valence of Sm ion in magnetically robust heavy fermion system SmOs_4Sb_<12> is presented on the basis of the two-level (or double-well) Kondo model. It is shown that the conduction electrons with f-symmetry accumulate on the ion tunneling between double well potential when the temperature is decreased across the Kondo temperature.
