abstract = {A technically simple way of probing the formation of
skyrmions is to measure the topological Hall resistivity
that should occur in the presence of skyrmions as an
additional contribution to the ordinary and anomalous Hall
effect. This type of probing, lately intensively used for
thin film samples, relies on the assumption that the
topological Hall effect contribution can be extracted
unambiguously from the measured total Hall resistivity.
Ultrathin films and heterostructures of the 4d ferromagnet
SrRuO3 have stirred up a lot of attention after the
observation of anomalies in the Hall resistivity, which
resembled a topological Hall effect contribution. These
anomalies, first reported for bilayers in which the SrRuO3
was interfaced with the strong spin-orbit coupled oxide
SrIrO3, were attributed to the formation of tiny Néel-type
skyrmions. Here we present the investigation of
heterostructures with two magnetically decoupled and
electrically parallel connected SrRuO3 layers. The two
SrRuO3 layers deliberately have different thicknesses, which
affects the coercive field and ferromagnetic transition
temperature of the two layers, and the magnitude and
temperature dependence of their anomalous Hall constants.
The SrRuO3 layers were separated by ultrathin layers of
either the strong spin-orbit coupling oxide SrIrO3 or of the
large band-gap insulator SrZrO3. Our magnetic and
magnetotransport studies confirm the additivity of the
anomalous Hall transverse voltages for the parallel
conducting channels originating from the two ferromagnetic
SrRuO3 layers as well as the possibility to tune the global
anomalous Hall resistivity by magnetic field, temperature,
or structural modifications at the epitaxial all-oxide
interfaces. The Hall voltage loops of these two-layer
heterostructures demonstrate the possibility to generate
humplike structures in the Hall voltage loops of SrRuO3
heterostructures without the formation of skyrmions and
emphasize that the detection of skyrmions only by Hall
measurements can be misleading.},
