Fundamental magnetotransport anisotropy in R2Fe17 single crystals

چکیده
We have measured the resistivity and Hall effect of R2Fe17 (R = Y, Tb, and Gd) single crystals in the temperature T range 4 < T < 300 K and applied magnetic fields of up to 9 T. The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is very anisotropic in these ferromagnets. The AHE resistivity, measured with an applied magnetic field H perpendicular to the c axis, is very large and varies quite linearly with the longitudinal resistivity ρ, but the AHE resistivity for H along the hard magnetization direction (H ‖ c axis) is much smaller and increases as ρ2. We argue that the latter is of the intrinsic origin and is brought about by quasidegenerate Fe d levels near the Fermi level.

Large and Anisotropic Linear Magnetoresistance in Single Crystals of Black Phosphorus Arising From Mobility Fluctuations
Black Phosphorus (BP) is presently attracting immense research interest on the global level due to its high mobility and suitable band gap for potential application in optoelectronics and flexible devices. It was theoretically predicted that BP has a large direction-dependent electrical and magnetotransport anisotropy. Investigations on magnetotransport of BP may therefore provide a new platfor...
متن کاملFree energies, vacancy concentrations, and density distribution anisotropies in hard-sphere crystals: a combined density functional and simulation study.
We perform a comparative study of the free energies and the density distributions in hard-sphere crystals using Monte Carlo simulations and density functional theory (employing Fundamental Measure functionals). Using a recently introduced technique [T. Schilling and F. Schmid, J. Chem. Phys. 131, 231102 (2009)] we obtain crystal free energies to a high precision. The free energies from fundamen...
متن کاملEstimation of Plunge Value in Single- or Multi-Layered Anisotropic Media Using Analysis of Fast Polarization Direction of Shear Waves
Estimation of the fast polarization direction of shear seismic waves that deviate from horizontal axis is a valuable approach to investigate the characteristics of the lower crust and uppermost mantle structures. The lattice preferred orientation of crystals, which is generally parallel to the downward or upward flow of the mantle or crust, is an important reason for the occurrence of fast axis...

Magnetotransport measurements of Y1 xPrxBa2Cu3O7 d (x 1⁄4 0, 0.13, 0.2, 0.32, and 0.42) single crystals reveal two regimes in the pseudogap region for the xP 0:20 samples, with a crossover at a temperature TcrðxÞ. For Tc < T < Tcr, there is a vortex-like response in magnetoresistivity. For T > Tcr, the results are consistent with the picture in which the origin of the pseudogap is the nearly an...

Temperature dependent magnetotransport measurements were performed on polycrystalline and epitaxial chromium dioxide CrO2 nanowires fabricated using the selective-area growth technique. Polycrystalline nanowires showed a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity at low temperatures because of strong grain boundary scattering. The magnetoresistance MR value exhibited a width dependence, re...
