The electromotive forces induced by surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are investigated in ferromagnetic thin films. CoFeB thin films deposited on LiNbO3 substrates are patterned into Hall bars to study the acoustoelectric transport properties of the device. The longitudinal and transverse dc voltages that develop in the Hall bars, which are parallel and orthogonal to the flow of the SAW, respectively, are measured under application of an in-plane magnetic field. The longitudinal voltage scales linearly with the SAW power and reverses its polarity upon changing the direction to which the SAW propagates, suggesting generation of a dc acoustic current via the SAW excitation. The magnetic field has little influence on the acoustic current. In contrast, the SAW induced transverse voltage shows significant dependence on the relative angle between the magnetic field and the SAW propagation direction. Such field angle dependent voltage resembles that of the planar Hall voltage induced by electric current. Interestingly, the angle dependent acoustic transverse voltage does not depend on the SAW propagation direction. Moreover, the magnitude of the equivalent angle dependent acoustic transverse resistance is more than one order of magnitude larger than that of the planar Hall resistance. These results show the unique acoustoelectric transport properties of ferromagnetic thin films.
