The Kerr and the Hall Effects in Amorphous Magnetic Films

Abstract
The temperature dependences of the extraordinary Hall effect (EHE) and the polar Kerr effect (PKE) hysteresis loops are measured in amorphous rare‐earth (RE) transition metal (TM) films. The polarity of each effect corresponds to that of its TM component. The temperature dependence of Hall voltage is similar to that of the Kerr rotation angle, and, in Gd‐Co‐Mo films, it is similar to that of Co sublattice moment calculated by Hasegawa's two sublattice model. From these results, both EHE and PKE in RE‐TM films are considered to mainly associate with the TM sublattice moment.
