a 3D contour plot of the angular dependent τ data measured at different H’s for T = 2 K. b 3D contour plot established from the angular dependent τ data calculated by its fitting to the experimental data. c Calculated angular dependent τ in presence of rotating H = 0.5 T in the bc plane. Schematics describe the configurations of the net magnetic moments in the upper (S1) and lower (S2) layers with respect to the H directions. The inset shows the directions of τ at θ = 45° and 135°, where a positive τ value at θ = 45° corresponds to +a axis, and a negative τ value at θ = 135° corresponds to –a axis. d–f Calculated angular dependent τ and corresponding net-moment orientations at H = 2, 4.8, and 9 T, respectively.
