Crystallographic transformation and electronic properties in the CsCl-type compounds PrAg1-xInx

Abstract

The electrical resistivity and Hall resistivity of PrAg_1-xIn_x have been measured. The crystal structure at room temperature is of CsCl type for x0 is positive at x=0, its magnitude increases with x until x=0.3, where it decreases suddenly as the transformation begins. The relationship between the transformation and the electronic properties is discussed.
