Galvanomagnetic properties of thin films with unidirectional anisotropy

Galvanomagnetic effect was used for studying the magnetization reversal processes in thin NiFe-NiFeMn films with the unidirectional anisotropy. The experimental results were compared with the simple coherent magnetization rotation model. A large contribution of rotation of the magnetization vectorM_s to the reversal process in easy direction was found (around 22°). The dependence of angular dispersion₄₅ on external fieldH was also measured.
