53. In the result presented in Ref. 18 the one-fold contribution of this measurement was displaced by 180 degrees. This corresponds to a mistake that was due to the fact that for this experiment we took φ = -180° (that corresponds to negative orientation of one of the coils of the superconducting vector magnet) as the origin of rotation while for all the others the origin was φ = 0 (positive orientation of the same coil) and we did not correct it in the data.
54. x). As we explain in this article, these directions, in fact, correspond to medium anisotropy axes of the fourth order anisotropy term and none of them are along the hard anisotropy axes of the second order anisotropy term.
