摘要
We investigate the longitudinal resistance of a semiconductor near-surface two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) subjected to a magnetic barrier induced by the stray field from a single sub-micron ferromagnetic line on the surface of the device. The amplitude of the magnetic barrier is controlled by the application of an external magnetic field in the plane of the 2DEG. We show that this type of magnetoresistance can be used to deduce properties of the ferromagnetic line, so that our hybrid ferromagnet-semiconductor structure acts as a nanomagnetometer.
