Three-dimensional
(3D) vector magnetic sensors play a significant
role in a variety of industries, especially in the automotive industry,
which enables the control of precise position, angle, and rotation
of motion elements. Traditional 3D magnetic sensors integrate multiple
sensors with their sensing orientations along the three coordinate
axes, leading to a large size and inevitable nonorthogonal misalignment.
Here, we demonstrate a wide linearity range 3D magnetic sensor utilizing
a single L10-FePt Hall-bar device, whose
sensitivity is 291 VA–1 T–1 in
the z-axis and 27 VA–1 T–1 in the in-plane axis. Based on the spin–orbit torque-dominated
magnetization reversal, the linear response of anomalous Hall resistance
within a large linear range (±200 Oe) for the x, y, and z components of magnetic
fields has been obtained, respectively. Typically, it exhibits a relatively
lower magnetic noise level of 7.9 nV at 1 Hz than previous results,
improving measurement resolution at the low frequency. Furthermore,
we provide a straightforward approach for noncontact angular position
detection based on a single Hall-bar device, which shows great potential
for application in rotational motion control.
