Very promising candidates for future spintronic devices are Co-based Heusler alloys like Co2FeAlxSiy, which generally possess a high Curie temperature and a high spin polarization (>0.5) [1]. Here we report on magnetoresistance measurements of µm-wide nanowires using contacts in longitudinal magnetoresistance (AMR) and Hall geometry (planar Hall effect (PHE)) [2]. For the AMR we observe an overall decrease in resistance with increasing field, whilst first results indicate an antisymmetric contribution in the PHE, whose origin is still under debate. A correlation to crystal symmetry was suggested for semiconductors [3]. We therefore study its dependence on applied field, field angle, temperature and the direction of growth on the substrate to gain further insight into this effect. References: [1] T. M.
