Abstract
We report results of a systematic study on the specific heat and electrical resistivity of the heavy-fermion compounds CeNiGe2-xSix(0≤x≤ 1). The compounds of x<1 show the antiferromagnetic order and the ordering temperature shifts to lower temperature with increasing x. Then, the magnetic order is smeared out at x=1. The anomaly observed in the specific heat is well interpreted by the Kondo model for a degenerate impurity spin J=12 in the Coqblin-Schrieffer limit. In addition, there is significant deviation from the Fermi-liquid behavior at the critical concentration x=1.
