Abstract
The Hall effect resistivity of high-quality films of the itinerant ferromagnet was measured at low temperatures. films have large uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and in the relevant temperature range the easy axis is degrees from the film normal. We measure changes in associated with changes in the orientation of the magnetization (M) for the same applied magnetic field B , and we find that with increasing B, changes its sign and its magnitude becomes more than an order of magnitude larger than the remanent (spontaneous) anomalous Hall effect. Furthermore, it appears that cannot be described as a sum of a term that depends on B and a term that depends on M, that is, the ordinary Hall effect and the anomalous Hall effect are effectively intermixed. We address qualitatively a possible link between the observed behavior of and the predicted existence of Weyl nodes in .
