  The filled-skutterudite compound CePt4Ge12 is situated close to the border
between intermediate-valence of Ce and heavy-fermion behavior. Substitution of
Ge by Sb drives the system into a strongly correlated and ultimately upon
further increasing the Sb concentration into an antiferromagnetically ordered
state. Our experiments evidence a delicate interplay of emerging Kondo physics
and the formation of a local 4f moment. An extended non-Fermi-liquid region,
which can be understood in the framework of a Kondo-disorder model, is
observed. Band-structure calculations support the conclusion that the physical
properties are governed by the interplay of electron supply via Sb substitution
and the concomitant volume effects.
