The longitudinal resistance, R{sub xx}, the Hall resistance, R{sub xy}, and the critical current density, j{sub c}, were measured for two Nb/Cu multilayers with different thickness of the Cu layers. The magnetic field was applied perpendicular to the layers. A peak-like anomaly of R{sub xy}, accompanied by a sign reversal, is interpreted using a phenomenological model. The temperature dependence of j{sub c}(T)=j{sub c0}(1{minus}T/T{sub c0}){sup 2}/T{sup 5/2} coincides with the theory of Aslamazov, D`yachkov, and Lempitskii.
