42. Because of the lower-energy scale of the interactions, the field dependence is, in fact, comparatively much weaker in GGG than in (formula presented)
43. We find that the spin wave form only fits the data for fields ≳0.3 T in the spin-liquid regime. This is probably attributable to the smaller magnetization at lower fields which would not support a propagating spin wave.
