Abstract

Field induced reversal in orientations of magnetic moments is a characteristic of the 'zero magnetization spin-ferromagnets', comprising dissimilar rare earth moments combined with non-magnetic elements. Many interesting features are observed as a result of such a reorientation process. We present the sign reversal in Hall resistance across the magnetic compensation temperature in polycrystalline Pr0.8Gd0.2Al2 alloy and also provide the microscopic evidence via the XMCD measurements for the field-induced reversal in the orientation of Pr and Gd moments in a single crystal sample.
