Description: <math>^{57}Fe\,\!</math> Mössbauer measurements on the <math>Ce(Ru_{1-x}Fe_{x})_2Ge_2\,\!</math> series of compounds <math>(0 \le x \le 1.0)\,\!</math> were performed at <math>300 K\,\!</math> and <math>4.2 K.\,\!</math> All samples showed a quadrupolar interaction with an asymmetry that was due to texture effects. Moreover, at <math>4.2 K,\,\!</math> and for <math>x < 0.5,\,\!</math> the observed spectra could be well fitted with a small transferred hyperfine field <math>(< 1 T)\,\!</math> that decreased with Fe-concentration. This agrees with our ac susceptibility observation that the localized character of the Ce-moment was systematically decreasing with Fe concentration. For <math>x > 0.5,\,\!</math> no transferred hyperfine field was observed, consistent with the absence of localized Ce-moments supported by our magnetization measurements.
