    (a) RAH loop and (b) out-of-plane magnetic hysteresis loop at room temperature of sample R. (c) RAH loops of sample A at different temperatures. (d) Plots of temperature-dependent coercivity and out-of-plane remnant magnetization of sample A. (e) Plot of temperature-dependent out-of-plane remnant magnetization of sample A. (f) Remnant Hall resistance varying with temperature of sample A, showing opposite magnetic configurations in the process of temperature changing. (g) Schematic diagrams of the magnetic moment states at points A, B, C and D of (e) with “↑” and “↓” representing the magnetic moments parallel and antiparallel to the positive direction separately.
