We investigate the novel intermetallic ternary compounds emph{R}Co$_{9}$Ge$_{4}$ with emph{R} = La and Ce by means of $X$-ray diffraction, susceptibility and specific heat measurements. CeCo$_{9}$Ge$_{4}$ crystallizes in the space group ${I}$ 4/ ${mcm}$ and is characterized by the coexistence of two different magnetic sublattices. The Ce-based sublattice, with an effective moment close to the expected value for a Ce$^{3+}$-ion, exhibits a magnetically ordered ground state with $T_{mathrm{N}}=12.5$ K. The Co-based sublattice, however, exhibits magnetic moments due to itinerant 3$d$ electrons. The magnetic specific heat contribution of the Ce-sublattice is discussed in terms of a resonance-level model implying the interplay between an antiferromagnetic phase transition and the Kondo-effect and an underlying Schottky-anomaly indicating a crystal field level scheme splitting into three twofold degenerated micro states ($Delta_1 = 69$ K, $Delta_2 = 133$ K).
Structural, magnetic and thermal measurements performed on CeCo{1-x}Fe{x}Si alloys are reported. Three regions can be recognized: i) Co-rich (x < 0.20) with a decreasing long range antiferromagnetic order which vanishes at finite temperature, ii) an
We report electrical resistivity, ac magnetic susceptibility and X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements of intermediate valence YbNi$_{3}$Ga$_{9}$ under pressure and magnetic field. We have revealed a characteristic pressure-induced Yb valence cr
In this article we present some particularly important issues regarding the CeCo$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$Ge$_{3}$ alloys. Firstly, the electrical resistivity below 2 K, down to 500 mK is studied to confirm the non-Fermi-liquid behavior around the critical sub
We report a comprehensive structural and valence study of the intermediate valent materials YbNiGa$_{4}$ and YbNiIn$_{4}$ under pressures up to 60 GPa. YbNiGa$_{4}$ undergoes a smooth volume contraction and shows steady increase in Yb-valence with pr
The effect of off-plane impurity on superconductivity and non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) behavior in the layered heavy-fermion compound CeCo$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$In$_5$ is investigated by specific heat, magnetization, and electrical resistivity measurements. These m
