Nanodimensional n-layers systems of [Pd/Fe]n/SiO2/Si, where 3≤n≤10, were used to examine the Hall effect. Effective thickness of separate layers of Pd and Fe changed in the range from 0.4 to 1.4 nm (Pd) and from 0.6 to 0.9 nm (Fe). Electron microscopic studies indicate that the layers have island structure and their composition corresponds to fcc-Pd and bcc-Fe. Solid solutions of Pd-Fe with fct-lattice are formed only when the thickness of layers ≥ 3 nm and after annealing at ≥ 790 K. Measurement of Hall coefficient RH indicate that its value monotonically decreases with increasing number of layers n. For example, for multilayer Pd(1.1 nm)/Fe(0.9 nm) RH decreases from 5.5×10−9 m3/C (n=2) to 3.97×10−9 m3/C (n=10). A size dependence of RH is observed also at fixed Fe layer thickness and variable thickness of Pd. For multilayer [Pd(x)/Fe(0.6)]10 the Hall coefficient decreases from 4.80×10−9 m3/C to 3.69×10−9 m3/C while increasing the effective thickness of Pd from x= 0.4 to 1.4 nm.
