Within the linear response of polycrystalline magnetic films to electric currents, a general analysis predicts three new galvanomagnetic effects originated from the two-dimensional nature of the films. These new galvanomagnetic effects, which differ from the conventional extraordinary Hall effect and anisotropic magnetoresistance, are follows. 1) The longitudinal resistivity depends linearly on the magnetization component perpendicular to a film. 2) A current parallel to the magnetization can generate an electric field in the vertical direction of a film. 3) A current perpendicular to a film can generate an electric field along the magnetization direction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
