  To investigate the non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior in a nonalloyed system
CeNi_2Ge_2, we have measured the temperature and field dependences of the
specific heat C on a CeNi_2Ge_2 single crystal. The distinctive temperature
dependence of C/T (~a-b*T^(1/2)) is destroyed in almost the same manner for
both field directions of B//c-axis and B//a-axis. The overall behavior of
C(T,B) and the low-temperature upturn in magnetic susceptibility can be
reproduced, assuming an anomalous peak of the quasi-particle-band
density-of-states (DOS) at the Fermi energy possessing (epsilon)^(1/2) energy
dependence. Absence of residual entropy around T=0 K in B~0 T has been
confirmed by the magnetocaloric effect measurements, which are consistent with
the present model. The present model can also be applied to the NFL behavior in
CeCu_{5.9}Au_{0.1} using a ln(epsilon)-dependent peak in the DOS. Possible
origins of the peak in the DOS are discussed.
