Abstract
jats:pWe report on the angular and field dependence of the magnetoresistance (MR) in bilayers of Pt/EuO1−x thin films, measured in both in-plane and out-of-plane geometries at different temperatures (T). The presence of oxygen vacancies manifested by a metal–insulator transition as well as a high-T ferromagnet-to-paramagnet transition (TP) was observed in the bilayers. The anisotropic magnetoresistance could be extracted in the entire T-range, even above TP, exhibiting two sign crossovers. We attribute its T-evolution to the rotation of the easy axis of the magnetization direction from a high-T out-of-plane to a low-T in-plane orientation. In addition, we provide direct experimental evidence of the spin Hall effect-induced spin Hall magnetoresistance, systematically considering several known MR contributions that can arise from the films' (111) texture and interface.</jats:p>
