Abstract

The spontaneous Hall coefficient (SHC) of metallic ferromagnetic film is calculated. It is shown that the difference between the SHC of film and that of bulk ferromagnetic is caused by two factors: (i) the unhomogeneous distribution of the current across the film and (ii) the asymmetric scattering of the conduction electrons on the surface defects. Due to the size effect the SHC of thin ferromagnetic film may strongly deviate from that of bulk sample and even have opposite sign.
