27. At sufficiently high magnetic fields, the magnetization is aligned with the field orientation, making θ≃φ.

29. A constant resistivity (≈ ρ 0) is subtracted from each as-measured trace to obtain the amplitude of ρ AMR.
30. Note that Fig. only shows data taken for one field direction (θ rotated from -90 to 270 deg).

43. Another difference between the uniform and nonuniform states could be in the local current direction. While in the uniform state the local and average current directions are the same, in the nonuniform state the local current direction may vary. Further study is required to investigate this effect.

49. Note that in manganite thin films with different doping levels the electronic inhomogeneities may affect the local current directions, namely the angle between the local magnetization and the current, which is worth further investigation.
