29. α=2 represents high symmetry cases, while lower symmetry gives α=3/2 [R.H. Victora, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 63, 457 (1989)]. In the present case, we have such a high symmetry case because the easy axis of each chain unit is aligned with the chain axis and the applied field. 10.1103/PhysRevLett.63.457
