Abstract
We report anisotropic dc magnetic susceptibility χ(T), isothermal magnetization M(H), electrical resistivity ρ(T), and heat capacity C(T) measurements on a single crystalline sample of PrCrSb3. The crystal exhibits ferromagnetic ordering below TC=112 K due to ordering of Cr spins. The ferromagnetic phase is highly anisotropic. The anisotropy becomes even more evident at low temperatures at which the rare-earth ion gets magnetically ordered. Pr moments antiferromagnetically order at TN=12 K. The magnetic interplay between these two species (Cr3+ and Pr3+ ions) gives PrCrSb3 a complex magnetic phase diagram.
