Injection of anomalous-Hall current into a load circuit
Résumé
The anomalous-Hall current injection is studied in a Hall device contacted to a lateral load circuit. This anomalous-Hall current is generated inside a Co75Gd25 ferrimagnetic Hall bar and injected into a lateral load circuit contacted at the edges. The current, the voltage, and the power are measured as a function of the magnetization states, the load resistance Rl, and the temperature. It is shown that (1) the resistance associated with the anomalous-Hall current flowing inside the Hall bar is that of the portion of the ferrimagnet located between the lateral contacts, (2) the role of the non-uniformity of the current due to the lateral contacts is small, (3) the maximum power efficiency of the current injection into the load circuit corresponds to the condition of the resistance matching of the two sub-circuits, and (4) this maximum power efficiency is of the order of the square of the anomalous-Hall angle. These observations are in agreement with recent predictions based on a non-equilibrium variational approach.
