ResumoA valency change in ${\mathrm{YbCu}}_{5\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Al}}_{x}$ from $\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\approx}2.2(x=0)$ to $\ensuremath{\nu}=3(x=2)$ causes a magnetic instability near a critical concentration ${x}_{\mathrm{cr}}\ensuremath{\approx}1.5.$ Alloys in the vicinity of ${x}_{\mathrm{cr}}$ exhibit typical non-Fermi-liquid properties like a negative logarithmic contribution to the specific heat or substantial deviations of the electrical resistivity from a ${T}^{2}$ behavior. Both pressure and alloying in this series bring about a strong reduction of the Kondo temperature ${T}_{K};$ the crystal-field interaction and the interatomic exchange gain therefore importance and magnetic order becomes possible beyond ${x}_{\mathrm{cr}}.$
