Magnetic Phase Diagram of Ce(Ni1-xPdx)2Ge2

We have measured the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, the electrical resistivity, the specific heat and the Hall coefficient on the pseudo-binary series Ce(Ni 1- x Pd x ) 2 Ge 2 (1.0≥ x ≥0.0). The Neel temperature decreases monotonously from 5.1 K for CePd 2 Ge 2 to 2.8 K for Ce(Ni 0.8 Pd 0.2 ) 2 Ge 2 with decreasing Pd concentration. For x ≤0.1, the ground state is paramagnetic.
