The orthorhombic SrIrO3 perovskite was synthesized under 5GPa and 1000°C. It is paramagnetic below about 170K and transfers to an unknown magnetism under higher temperature. A band type metal to insulator transition caused by a pseudogap was observed at about 44K. Interestingly a positive magnetoresistance, i.e., resistance increased with applying magnetic field, was observed in the orthorhombic SrIrO3 perovskite below about 170K.
