The spin Hall effect (SHE) [1] and the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) [2] are two promising phenomena for novel spintronic devices. Authors of Ref. [3] proposed to enhance the AHE in noble metal hosts with magnetic 3d impurities by codoping of heavy nonmagnetic impurities.
We present a detailed study [4] of the transverse charge transport in such ternary alloys related to the so-called nonlocal AHE, recently introduced [5]. The results of our ab initio calculations are underpinned and explained by theoretical investigations via Matthiessen’s rule. Considering transport properties of the constituent binary alloys, we reveal optimal host-impurity combinations to enhance the AHE. This allows us to explain experimental findings [3] showing a strong effect in Cu-based alloys but a vanishing effect in the case of the Au host.
