Sample layout. a Star pattern used for the current-induced Néel vector manipulation experiments with current pulse directions $I_{\mathrm{pulse}}^{\mathrm{1∕2}}$ and probing contacts for Planar Hall Effect (PHE) measurements indicated. b shows the crystal structure of Mn₂Au with arbitrarily selected in-plane orientation of the magnetic moments. c shows the in-plane orientation of the epitaxial Mn₂Au thin films, which corresponds to the star pattern shown in a. $I_{\mathrm{pulse}}$ || [010] is expected to rotate the magnetic moments in the indicated directions. d 45° in-plane rotation of the star pattern. $I_{\mathrm{pulse}}$ || [110] is expected to rotate the magnetic moments in the indicated directions
