Antiferromagnets recently attracted a lot of interest as candidate materials for spintronic applications. In this study, we investigate the spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) in uniaxial antiferromagnet (AFM)/Pt bilayers. Our results suggest that experiments close to the Neel temperature of the AFM layer allow to study the magnetic phase diagram of the AFM. By rotating the magnetic field in three orthogonal rotation planes, we establish the 3D fingerprint of the SMR also in AFM/Pt heterostructures, giving further insights into the impact of anisotropy and domain pattern. Finally, we propose an extension of the monodomainization model put forward recently in conjunction with measurements on NiO/Pt heterostructures [1] which provides an alternative explanation on the origin of the negative SMR signature.
