Abstract :
Hall-effect measurements have been performed in amorphous sputtered Nd12Fe80B8 film and in amorphous sputtered Nd26F68B6/Fe92 B8 multilayers between 4.2 and 200 K with applied magnetic fields up to 7 T. The layered character of the samples has been tested by X-ray diffraction. The dependence of resistivity and saturation magnetization on layer thicknesses makes it possible to investigate the contribution of the different microscopic mechanisms to the Hall effect. The Hall-effect data show the typical behaviour of an itinerant ferromagnet with skew and side jump terms
