The longitudinal resistance Rxx of the SrTiO3/LaAlO3 interface with magnetic fields applied perpendicular to the interface has an antisymmetric term (namely, Rxx(H) ≠ Rxx(-H)) which increases with decreasing temperature and increasing field. We argue that the origin of this phenomenon is a non-homogeneous Hall effect with clear contribution of an extraordinary Hall effect, suggesting the presence of non-uniform field-induced magnetization.
