Sample layout. a Star pattern used for the current-induced Néel vector manipulation experiments with current pulse directions \(I_{{\mathrm{pulse}}}^{{\mathrm{1/2}}}\) and probing contacts for Planar Hall Effect (PHE) measurements indicated. b shows the crystal structure of Mn₂Au with arbitrarily selected in-plane orientation of the magnetic moments. c shows the in-plane orientation of the epitaxial Mn₂Au thin films, which corresponds to the star pattern shown in a. \(I_{{\mathrm{pulse}}}\) || [010] is expected to rotate the magnetic moments in the indicated directions. d 45° in-plane rotation of the star pattern. \(I_{{\mathrm{pulse}}}\) || [110] is expected to rotate the magnetic moments in the indicated directions
