Altermagnetism is a new type of magnetic order that can generate anomalous Hall effects without net magnetization. CrSb is an altermagnetic material with a high critical temperature, but anomalous Hall effects are not always observed in epitaxial thin films.In this work, we investigate how external strain influences the transport properties of CrSb thin films. By bending ultrathin CrSb membranes, controllable strain is applied along a specific crystallographic direction. We find that compressive strain significantly modifies the ordinary Hall response and carrier densities, while the longitudinal resistivity remains nearly unchanged. Although no anomalous Hall effect is detected within the examined strain range, our results demonstrate that external strain is an effective way to tune carrier transport in altermagnetic CrSb thin films.
