Abstract
An enhanced anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is observed via interface modification in MgO/[Co/Pt]2/Co/MgO multilayers, due to the insertion of a Hf metal layer at the Co/MgO interface. It is shown that the saturation anomalous Hall resistivity is 215% larger than that in the multilayers without Hf insertion. More importantly, thermally stable AHE and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy features are obtained in MgO/[Co/Pt]2/Co/Hf/MgO multilayers. The AHE is improved for sample MgO/[Co/Pt]2/Co/Hf/MgO by annealing, which is attributed to the enhancement of the side jump contribution.
