The non-centro symmetric system CePt₃Si shows an unconventional heavy-fermion superconducting ground state (T_c= 0.75 K), in coexistence with an antiferromagnetic phase below T_N=2.2 K. In contrast, CePt₃B exhibits a complex magnetically ordered state at low temperatures, with an antiferromagnetic phase below T_N=8 K and a second weakly ferromagnetic transition below T_C≈ 5 K.

Here we report a study of the magnetic phase diagram of the alloying series CePt₃B_1−xSi_x. From our investigation we find the antiferromagnetism of CePt₃B to transform into the analagous phase of CePt₃Si. In contrast, we observe a supression of the ferromagnetically ordered phase above a critical Si concentration x_c≈ 0.5. We discuss the relationship of superconductivity and magnetism of the alloying series.
