The temperature and in plane magnetic field dependence of the transverse voltage, Vy, were studied in patterned epitaxial films of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3/MgO (LCMO) with Tc=270 K and La0.7(Ca,Sr)0.3MnO3/MgO (LSCMO, Tc=310 K). In the paramagnetic region the Vy(T) shows an insulating behavior similar to that of the longitudinal voltage (resistance). With the onset of long range ferromagnetic order near Tc an additional contribution to Vy appears, exhibiting a sin(2alpha)- dependence on the angle "alphaNo-dq between the current and the magnetic field, H. Vy is very sensitive to low fields and shows a hysteretic behavior due to magnetization reversal. For example, LSCMO film exhibit room temperature sensitivity 20 %/Oe and magnetovoltage, Vy(H)/Yy(0)=220 % for H≈Hc=10-20 Oe. The transverse voltage is originated from an anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) effect and is closely related to the magnetization state of films. The results show a potential for planar device applications as field sensing and memory elements. Support by the DFG via SFB602, TPA2 is acknowledged.
