| contents | The synthesis, structural, magnetic, thermal and transport properties are reported for polycrystalline PrIr3. At room temperature PrIr3 displays the rhombohedral space group R-3m and a PuNi3- type structure. At around 70 K a phase transition to a monoclinic C2/m structure is observed and continued cooling reveals temperature independent behavior of the unit cell volume. Further, PrIr3 undergoes a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition with T_C = 7.5 K. The temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility follows the Curie Weiss law with a positive Curie-Weiss temperature, and an effective moment that is close to the theoretical effective moment for a free Pr+3 ion. This introduces further complexity into the behavior of PuNi3 - type materials and highlights the importance of temperature-dependent structural studies to complement physical property measurements in intermetallic compounds. |
