Abstract
We present Hall effect measurements on the heavy fermion compound CePtSi. Above the neel temperature the behavior of the Hall effect is that generally observed in heavy fermion compounds and ascribed to skew scattering. Below TN the Hall effect is enhanced and its stronly non-linear field dependence evidences the existence of a field-induced phase transtion. We discuss the origin of the enhancement of the Hall effect below TN.
