The influence of substituting Pd by Ni is described in
Ce(Pd
Ni
alloys with x taken up to about 0.25.
Thermal and magnetization measurements point out a transition from
a non-magnetic state (CePd
to a ferromagnetic state for
x>0.05, with a Curie temperature 
K. The
Ce-
absorption edges and magnetic circular dichroism
(XMCD) study reveals the coexistence of strong 4f hybridization
and ferromagnetic order. The Ce- XMCD signal
measured in CePd3 demonstrates that in the Ce-based dense
Kondo materials only the 4f1 channel gives a magnetic
response.
