Recently it has been shown that the Néel vector in Mn2Au can be switched by the application of current pulses via Néel spin-orbit torques [1]. The process of Néel vector switching was visualized by XMLD-PEEM [2]. In our work we report about the effect of magnetic field induced spin-flop transitions in antiferromagnetic Mn2Au(001) on the resistance of the samples. Two contributions of spin=flop induced resistance changes were observed on different time scales [3]. The first contribution gives rise to resistance reductions of ~1% and decay on a time scale of seconds. The second contribution is identified as a persistent anisotropic magnetoresistance effect, with a magnitu of ~0.1%. The results indicate that the origin of current induced large resistance modifications in Mn2Au are associated with domain wall resistance.
