24. P in is higher in the hexagonal MnAs plane than perpendicular to it. For type A MnAs the current is measured in-plane, while for type B it is measured at an angle of ∼23° to that plane.
25. The smaller error in P for type A MnAs samples is to be expected because of their lower sensitivity to the current direction due to the high hexagonal plane symmetry.
