Abstract

We measure the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) resistivity ρxy\rho_{xy} in thin films of the itinerant ferromagnet SrRuO3_{3}. At low temperatures, the AHE coefficient RsR_{s} varies with ρxx2\rho_{xx}^2, and at higher temperatures, RsR_{s} reaches a peak and then changes sign just below TcT_{c}. We find that for all films studied RsR_{s} scales with resistivity in the entire ferromagnetic phase. We attribute the observed behavior to the contribution of the extrinsic side jumps mechanism and the intrinsic Karplus-Luttinger (Berry phase) mechanism including the effect of finite scattering rates.
