Caption

In the “planar Hall effect,” researchers send a current (“J”) through a thin, flat sample and observe whether an electric voltage (“V”) is produced in response to a magnetic field (“B”) in the same plane as the sample. If it is, the pattern of how the voltage responds to rotating the magnetic field in the plane of the sample tells researchers about the properties of the material.
