Anomalous Hall Effect in perpendicularly magnetized Mn(_{3-x})Ga thin films

Abstract

Mn\(_{3-x}\)Ga (x = 0.1, 0.4, 0.7) thin films on MgO and SrTiO\(_3\) substrates were investigated with magnetic anisotropy perpendicular to the film plane. An anomalous Hall-effect was observed for the tetragonal distorted lattice in the crystallographic D0\(_{22}\) phase. The Hall resistivity \(\varrho_{xy}\) was measured in a temperature range from 20 to 330 K. The determined skew scattering and side jump coefficients are discussed with regard to the film composition and used substrate and compared to the crystallographic and magnetic properties.
