We have measured specific heat and electrical resistivity of Ce(Ni1-xPdx)(2
) Ge-2 (x = 0.09 and 0.12) single crystals with antiferromagnetic ground st
ate. For x similar to 0.12 crystal, there is no obvious rise in the electri
cal resistivity around the Ni el temperature TN This antiferromagnetic orde
ring might be understood as the itinerant antiferromagnetism of heavy-quasi
particles without the gapping behavior. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All
