摘要
The magneto-transport properties of nanocomposite C:Co (15 and 40 at.% Co) thin films are investigated. The films were grown by ion beam co-sputtering on thermally oxidized silicon substrates in the temperature range from 200 to 500 degrees C. Two major effects are reported: (i) a large anomalous Hall effect amounting to 2 mu Omega cm, and (ii) a negative magneto resistance. Both the field-dependent resistivity and Hall resistivity curves coincide with the rescaled magnetization curves, a finding that is consistent with spin-dependent transport. These findings suggest that C:Co nanocomposites are promising candidates for carbon-based Hall sensors and spintronic devices. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
