    Abstract

    The coupling between multiple magnetic sublattices in rare-earth-transition metal compounds provides an ideal materials platform for exploring exotic magnetic orders and transport behaviors. Here, we systematically investigate the magnetic and electrical transport properties of PrCrGe3 single crystal with dual magnetic sublattices. The significant magnetic anisotropy arises from the distinct ordering of Cr3+ (∼90K) and Pr3+ (∼11K) moments, leading to contrasting behaviors for different field directions. Electrical transport exhibits strong anisotropy with clear signatures of both magnetic transitions. Magnetoresistance (MR) and Hall effect measurements reveal complex, field-direction-dependent transport phenomena, including nonmonotonic MR, sign reversal, and linear positive MR, reflecting the competition and coupling between the two magnetic sublattices. Our work elucidates the intricate interplay between dual magnetic sublattices and anisotropic magnetotransport in PrCrGe3.
