Abstract
Herein, for the first time, anisotropic magnetotransport phenomenon in amorphous carbon (a-C) thin films has been examined on the basis of Brysksin – Klein (B-K) model. The sign of magnetoresistance turns negative at (θ, ϕ) = (0°, 90°) to positive at (θ, ϕ) = (90°, 90°) where θ and ϕ are the angle between applied magnetic field and normal to the plane and the angle between applied magnetic field and current, respectively. The sign of magnetoresistance of a-C thin films varies continuously at θ = 0–360° and ϕ=0–90°, suggesting good potential for the position sensing of large magnetic field.
