Abstract
Electrical resistivity and the magnetic susceptibility have been measured for the series of intermetallic compounds CeCoxNi 1-xGe2(x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1). CeNiGe2 is an antiferromagnetic compound with TN = 3.3 K. CeCoGe2 is an intermediate-valence compound with cerium valence varying from 3.2 at room temperature to 3.8 at 1.8 K. The valence fluctuations are quenched at x = 0.5, while the heavy Fermion behavior appears in compositions with x<0.5.
