20. This is a good approximation if the exchange field is almost the same for the three sites, as proved by Eq. (4).

23. 2 in the original Eq. (5) should be corrected, but it can be proven that this correction does not exceed 0.3%, and is therefore negligible with respect to other sources of uncertainties which are considered in this work.
24. It can be shown that the proposed value of A is exact in the case that the central INS peak can be attributed to sublattice I or if the three sites are equally abundant within the crystal.

31. c can be increased from 282 to 501 K by a 10% substitution of iron by cobalt [L. Pareti, A. Paoluzi, and N. Magnani, J. Magn. Magn. Mater. 251, 178 (2002)], and the insertion of small amounts of interstitial nitrogen or carbon is known to give rise to a strong easy-axis CF anisotropy in several RE-based compounds.
