28. We follow the definition given in the textbook by Chikazumi [35] but do not restrict 'differential susceptibility' to the initial magnetization curve.

32. We would like to mention that, in the nearly biaxial temperature range, the hyteresis obtained parallel to the step edges is not centered around zero external field. We do not know the origin for that shift.
