We have observed a finite-size effect of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and extraordinary Hall effect (EHE) in Co 20 Ag 80 and Fe 20 Ag 80 granular thin films of varying thickness. The GMR approaches zero as the thicknness approaches zero. The thickness dependence of GMR can be explained by a dimensional-confinement effect coupled with a large surface-induced spin-flipping cross section. The EHE exhibits a strong correlation with GMR, which is likely due to the surface-induced spin-orbit interaction.
