Abstract

We demonstrate in-plane anomalous Hall effect (iAHE) and unconventional spin-to-charge conversion in in-plane Co/PtCoOx heterostructures grown by magnetron sputtering. The temperature-dependent measurements show a strong iAHE signal persisting up to 400 K. In the conventional AHE, transverse voltage is observed when a magnetic field is swept along the out-of-plane direction, whereas in our case, transverse voltage is obtained when a field is swept along the in-plane direction transverse to the current flow. The out-of-plane magnetization measurements show non-negligible out-of-plane magnetization, which causes the iAHE in our Co/PtCoOx stack structure. This out-of-plane remnant magnetization is attributed to the coupling between CoO moments and in-plane Co moments. Our findings expand the understanding of iAHE in ferromagnet/spin–orbit coupled heterostructures. Both the conventional and unconventional spin-to-charge conversions have also been observed at room temperature. The unconventional spin-to-charge conversion figure of merit is three times larger than the conventional spin-to-charge conversion.
