Field-dependent anisotropic magnetoresistance and planar Hall effect in epitaxial magnetite thin films
A systematic study of the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the
longitudinal and transverse resistivities of epitaxial thin films of magnetite
(Fe3O4) is reported. The anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and the planar
Hall effect (PHE) are sensitive to the in-plane orientation of current and
magnetization with respect to crystal axes in a way consistent with the cubic
symmetry of the system. We also show that the AMR exhibit sign reversal as a
function of temperature, and that it shows significant field dependence without
saturation up to 9 T. Our results provide a unified description of the
anisotropic magnetoresistance effects in epitaxial magnetite films and
illustrate the need for a full determination of the resistivity tensor in
crystalline systems
Anisotropic magnetoresistance and planar Hall effect in epitaxial films of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3
We measured the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and the planar Hall effect (PHE) in a [001] oriented epitaxial thin film of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO) as a function of magnetic field, temperature, and current direction relative to the crystal axes. We find that both AMR and PHE in LCMO depend strongly on the current orientation relative to the crystal axes, and we demonstrate the applicability of AMR and PHE equations based on a fourth order magnetoresistance tensor consistent with the film symmetry
