anomalous Hall effect (AHE). While the anomalous topological Hall behavior arises from the inverse
triangular spin structure of the antiferromagnetic order, a small in-plane ferromagnetic component
allows weak (<0.5 T) magnetic fields to manipulate the anomalous Hall response. The easy controllability
of this large room temperature response makes this an exciting candidate material for
antiferromagnetic spintronic applications. In this work, we use in-situ tunable uniaxial stress to lower
the rotational symmetry of the crystallographic lattice. Paired with measurements of the evolution of
the AHE as a function of magnetic field angle, these experiments reveal the ability to induce an apparent
bias to the orientation of the ferromagnetic moment and lift the continuous rotation degeneracy of the
anomalous Hall state. Thus, we find that strain is an additional powerful control parameter to: (1)
seemingly bias the ferromagnetic poling direction and (2) change the magnitude of the AHE, which
depends sensitively on strain for specific magnetic field angles.
