27. Earlier studies of the copper formate tetrahydrate (CFT), a quasi-2D spin-12 AF on a square lattice, by electron spin resonance have indicated a spin reorientation transition in modest fields similar to the one in K2V3O8:

29. In that work the field dependence of the gaps has been analyzed with results somewhat similar to the ones we predict for K2V3O8.
30. Note that we also consider the most common case of the staggered DM interaction. The uniform DM interaction [without (-1)i] would lead to a spiral-like ordering;
