Abstract

The pseudo-Hall effect (PHE) and anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in a micronscale Ni80Fe20, six-terminal device, fabricated by optical lithography and wet chemical etching from a high quality UHV grown 30 Angstrom Au/300 Angstrom Ni80Fe20 film, have been studied. The magnetisation reversal in different parts of the device has been measured using magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), The device gives a 50% change in PHE voltage with an ultrahigh sensitivity of 7.3%Oe(-1) at room temperature. The correlation between the magnetisation, magneto-transport properties, lateral shape of the device and directions of the external applied field is discussed based on extensive MOKE, AMR and PHE results.
