We report a new magnetoresistance (MR) effect observed in a nominally nonmagnetic metal (Pt) thin film in contact with either a ferromagnetic insulator or a ferromagnetic metal. The resistivities with in-plane magnetic fields parallel (ρ_∥) and transverse (ρT) to a current and a perpendicular field (ρ_⊥) show the behavior of ρ_⊥ {≈} ρ_∥ > ρT, distinctly different from all other known MR effects, including anisotropic MR with ρ_∥ > ρT {≈} ρ_⊥. We termed the new MR as hybrid MR, which appears in a metal in close proximity with a ferromagnet either insulating or metallic, and is associated with the induced magnetic moments at the interface.
