mechanisms of anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in ferromagnets. We provide unambiguous
identification of the side jump mechanism, in addition to the skew scattering contribution in
epitaxial paramagnetic Ni 34 Cu 66 thin films, in which the intrinsic contribution is by
definition excluded. Furthermore, the temperature dependence of the AHE further reveals
that the side jump mechanism is dominated by the elastic scattering.
