Extended Data Fig. 5: Dependence of the SHE on the directions of bias current and spontaneous magnetization.

a, MCD images at 1.6 K under reversed bias current compared to Fig. 2b. Positive spontaneous MCD is prepared at zero bias. The current-induced edge MCD has opposite signs compared to Fig. 2b, consistent with the bulk SHE beyond QAH breakdown. b, MCD images at 1.6 K with spontaneous MCD opposite to that in Fig. 2b. The same current-induced MCD images are observed at high bias, demonstrating that the SHE is independent of the spontaneous magnetization direction.
