Magnetic properties of isostructural substitutional solid solutions Ce/sub x/La/sub 1-x/Cu/sub 2/Si/sub 2/ (0 or approx. =0.8, the value of T/sub SG/ decreases, and near xroughly-equal1 Ce/sub x/La/sub 1-x/Cu/sub 2/Si/sub 2/ compounds become superconducting. These changes in magnetic properties of Ce/sub x/La/sub 1-x/Cu/sub 2/Si/sub 2/ take place during the transition from a Kondo impurity (x< or =1) to a Kondo lattice (xroughly-equal1) when there appears a narrow resonance near the Fermi energy for x..-->..1, which causes a decrease of the effective magnetic moment of Ce ions (and a decrease of T/sub SG/ in the region x> or approx. =0.8) and appearance of superconductivity of heavy fermions in CeCu/sub 2/Si/sub 2/.
