Extended Data Fig. 2: Illustration of 2-axis rotation of a 2D sample in an external magnetic field with an installation canting angle γ.

A 2D sample is mounted on a 2-axis rotational stage. The 2D surface of the sample (yellow plane) makes a canting angle γ with respect to one of the rotation planes of the stage (grey plane). To simplify the discussion and isolate the effect of canting angle γ, we assume that the stage can make precise rotations so that, as shown in Fig. 3b, we can always align the sample plane precisely parallel to the external B field. When this exact parallelism is aligned at a given φ, due to the canting angle γ, further rotation along the stage axis 1 or 2 can cause a correlation between θ and φ, which are labelled as different θ(φ) values.
