The realization of four-fold anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in novel 3d-5d heterostructures has boosted major efforts in antiferromagnetic spintronics. However, despite the potential of incorporating strong spin-orbit coupling, only small AMR signals have been detected thus far, prompting a search for new mechanisms to enhance the signal. In this study on CaMnO₃/CaIrO₃ heterostructures, we report a unique dual-four-fold symmetric 70% AMR; a signal two orders of magnitude larger than previously observed in similar systems. We find that one order is enhanced by tuning a large biaxial anisotropy through octahedral tilts of similar sense in the constituent layers, while the second order is triggered by a spin-flop transition in a nearly Mott-type phase. Dynamics between these two phenomena as evidenced by the step-like AMR and a superimposed biaxial-anisotropy-induced AMR capture a subtle interplay of pseudospin coupling with the lattice and external magnetic field. Furthermore, our study shows that a combination of charge-transfer, interlayer coupling, and a spin-flop transition can yield a giant AMR relevant for sensing and antiferromagnetic memory applications.
