Abstract

The large magnetic anisotropy in the layered ferromagnet Fe_{1/4}TaS_2 leads to very sharp reversals of the magnetization at the coercive field. We have exploited this feature to measure the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), focussing on the AHE conductivity in the inelastic regime. At low temperature T (5-50 K), is T-independent, consistent with the Berry-phase/Karplus-Luttinger theory. Above 50 K, we extract an inelastic AHE conductivity that scales as the square of (the T dependent part of the resistivity ). The term clarifies the T dependence and sign-reversal of the AHE coefficient R_s(T). We discuss the possible ubiquity of in ferromagnets, and ideas for interpreting its scaling with . Measurements of the magnetoresistance (MR) reveal a rich pattern of behavior vs. T and field tilt-angle. We show that the 2 mechanisms, the anisotropic MR effect and field-suppression of magnons, account for the intricate MR behavior, including the bow-tie features caused by the sharp reversals in .
