The resistance and magnetic susceptibility of Sm1-xGdxAl2 with x=00098, 0019 and 003 have been studied at low temperatures. Spin moments and orbital moments couple antiparallelly in this material. The compensat ion temperature at which the spin moments are equal to orbital ones is observed, and it decreases with increasing x. The spin_orbit flip has been found in a strong field.
