In an electron system coupled with anharmonic phonons, i.e., rattling, inverse isotope effect on the Kondo temperature T-K is found to occur by the numerical evaluation of the Sommerfeld constant gamma of the Anderson-Holstein model. For the anharmonic potential of an oscillator with mass M in which large gamma has been found to be almost independent of an applied magnetic field, gamma is significantly suppressed when M is increased, i.e., T-K is enhanced due to the relation of gamma similar to T-K(-1) in the Kondo problem, leading to the inverse isotope effect on T-K. Since this phenomenon does not occur for harmonic phonons, it can be a key experiment to prove the relevance of rattling to magnetically robust heavy electron state.
