摘要：

The magnetic phase transition and the magnetoresistance (MR) in bulk intermetallic PrGa compound are investigated experimentally. Two successive magnetic transitions, ferromagnetic (FM)-antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition and AFM-paramagnetic transition, are observed at T(1) = 28 K and T(2) = 36 K, respectively. It is found that the PrGa compound exhibits a field-induced metamagnetic transition from A:FM to FM state and a considerable change in lattice constants in a temperature range of 28-36 K. Accompanied with the AFM-FM transition, a negative MR occurs, and the maximal MR values are, similar to 30% and similar to 34% at 28 K under the fields of 1 T and 5 T, respectively.
