15. A number of authors [e.g., B. M. Lairson et. al Phys. Rev. B 43, 10t405 (1991)] relate the coefficients a and b to dU/dj and (Formula presented)U/(Formula presented). This connection follows from Eq. (1) with (Formula presented) expanded to second order in a Taylor series. We find that the "curvature" in U(j) is too large for this approximation to yield useful information.
