Abstract
A lattice-constant study of the cubic C 15 Ce(IrxOs1-x)2 and Ce(PtxIr1-x)2 mixtures at room temperature reveals anomalous lattice constant versus x behavior. Also the electron-spin-resonance thermal broadening and g shift of Nd3+ in these compounds are anomalous but could be correlated with the lattice parameters. This is taken as evidence for intermediate-valence state in some of the mixtures.
