“…Although the effect is quite small in metallic samples (Berger, 1991a;Sato et al, 2000;Gopalaswamy and Berger, 1991), a giant planar Hall effect has been reported in GaMnAs films magnetized in plane (Tang, Kawakami, Awschalom and Roukes, 2003) and this effect has been used to detect a single DW (Honolka et al, 2005;Tang, Masmanidis and Kawakami, 2004). Hall-effect-based measurements require the device to be patterned in a Hallcross geometry, thus limiting the flexibility of the device structure.…”
