Susceptibility and magnetization measurements were realized on the equ
iatomic ternary orthorhombic RPtGa compounds. LaPtGa is non-magnetic.
The compounds with R = Ce, Pr, Nd, Ho and Er do not present any orderi
ng temperature down to 5 K. The ordering temperatures of the compounds
with R = Gd, Tb, Dy and Tm are 25 K, 20 K, 15 K and 8 K respectively.
The paramagnetic Curie temperatures do not have the same sign across
the RPtGa series.
