65. Finite temperature results for the phase diagram at zero field and half-doping have been recently reported in L. Brey, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.71.174426 71, 174426 (2005). As far as zero temperature results are concerned, they agree with that of Ref. and the present work.
66. Recently, Brey and Littlewood have proposed that "orbital solitons" occur upon doping the CE phase, and that the particle-hole asymmetry is due to the energy difference between positive and negative energy solitons [L. Brey and P. B., Littlewood, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.117205 95, 117205 (2005)]. These defects are different from the ones considered by us in that their appearance involves a complete and large-scale rearrangement of the magnetic order of the CE phase.
