摘要
We present magnetic and transport properties of PrRh2Si2 single crystals which exhibit antiferromagnetic order below T-N = 68 K. Well defined anomalies due to the magnetic phase transition are observed in magnetic susceptibility, resistivity and specific heat data. The T-N of 68 K for PrRh2Si2 is much higher than the 5.4 K expected on the basis of de Gennes scaling. The magnetic susceptibility data reveal strong uniaxial anisotropy in this compound, similar to that of PrCo2Si2. With increasing pressure TN increases monotonically up to T-N = 71.5 K at 22.5 kbar.
