a,b, Observed angular MR in the coordinate system of Fig. 2a for negative (a) and positive (b) currents, normalized by the resistance at ϕ = 0∘ for each current. c, \(1-\langle {M}_{y}^{2}\rangle /{M}_{\,{\rm{s}}}^{2}\) calculated by the stochastic LLG equation in the macrospin approximation. d–f, Time-dependent trajectories of the macrospin moment calculated by the stochastic LLG equation for currents 0.1 mA (d), 4.1 mA (e) and 7 mA (f) and ϕ = 270∘. The field strength is 125 mT for a–f. g, Resistance versus d.c. current measurements for applied magnetic fields 25–200 mT along ϕ = 270∘. h, Calculated \(1-\langle {M}_{y}^{2}\rangle /{M}_{{\rm{s}}}^{2}\) as a function of current and applied magnetic field. i, Ic extracted in g for different field strengths and angles (dots) and linear fits (lines). The inset shows the slope (dots) and a fit by \(\sin \phi\) (curve).
