We show that magnetotransport measurements based on a well-established current-reversal method can be utilized to implement a simple and robust screening scheme for such relaxation processes. We demonstrate our approach considering the anomalous Hall effect in a Pt/Co/AlOx trilayer model system, and then explore relaxation in {\\tau} -MnAl films. Compared to magnetotransport experiments based on ac lock-in techniques, we find that the dc current-reversal method is particulary sensitive to relaxation processes with relaxation time scales on the order of seconds, comparable to the current-reversal measurement time scales.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-05-23T11:46:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "detecting slow magnetization relaxation", "magnetotransport measurements", "pt/co/alox trilayer model system", "current-reversal measurement time scales", "slow magnetization relaxation processes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
