Manipulation of the electronic valence states of the collinear metallic antiferromagnet Mn2Au was achieved by reorienting the direction of the staggered magnetisation (Néel vector). Pulsed magnetic fields of 50 T were used to direct the sublattice magnetisations of capped epitaxial Mn2Au (001) thin films perpendicular to the applied field direction by a spin-flop transition. The electronic structure was investigated by hard X-ray angular-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our results confirm that the magnetic order parameter in real space provokes considerable changes of electronic states in reciprocal space near the Fermi Level and close to the X points.
