Popis: $${\hbox {SrIrO}}_{3}$$ SrIrO 3 , the three-dimensional member of the Ruddlesden–Popper iridates, is a paramagnetic semimetal characterised by a the delicate interplay between spin–orbit coupling and Coulomb repulsion. In this work, we study the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) of $${\hbox {SrIrO}}_{3}$$ SrIrO 3 thin films, which is closely linked to spin–orbit coupling and probes correlations between electronic transport, magnetic order and orbital states. We show that the low-temperature negative magnetoresistance is anisotropic with respect to the magnetic field orientation, and its angular dependence reveals the appearance of a fourfold symmetric component above a critical magnetic field. We show that this AMR component is of magnetocrystalline origin, and attribute the observed transition to a field-induced magnetic state in $${\hbox {SrIrO}}_{3}$$ SrIrO 3 .
