Magnetoresistance originated from charge-spin conversion in ferromagnet

Transverse magnetoresistance in a ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic trilayer originated from charge-spin conversion by anomalous Hall effect is investigated theoretically. Solving the spin diffusion equation in bulk and using the spin-dependent Landauer formula at the ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic interface, an analytical formula of the transverse resistivity is obtained. The charge-spin conversion by the anomalous Hall effect contributes to the magnetoresistance in a manner proportional to the square of the spin anomalous Hall angle. The angular dependence of the magnetoresistance is basically identical to that of planar Hall effect, but has an additional term which depends on the relative angle of the magnetizations in two ferromagnets.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure, conference proceeding of MMM 201
