  1. Shown are key properties of the ordinary Hall effect (OHE), the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), the planar Hall effect (PHE), the symmetric transverse resistivity (STR), and the in-plane Hall effect (IPHE) by which these different effects can be distinguished. Moreover, we also list their specific characteristics in our measurements. With respect to our measurement geometry and sample magnetization, ϕB is defined as the angle between the direction of the in-plane magnetic field B and the in-plane component of the magnetization Mx, which is aligned with the x-axis, and ϕE is defined as the angle between the longitudinal electric field E and the x-axis (also see Fig. 2d). Bz and Mz refer to the magnetic field and magnetization components perpendicular to the sample xy-plane, respectively; AMR denotes the anisotropic magnetoresistance.
