30. In contrast to the case of the unfrustrated Heisenberg antiferromagnet, the spin density decreases on the four nearest-neighbor sites of the vacancy. See N. Bulut, D. Hone, D. J. Scalapino, and E. Y. Loh, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.62.2192 62, 2192 (1989).
31. The incommensurability seen in Fig. 5 at long distances does not affect the fit accuracy.
32. A crude fit ξconf =a (ξAF) α gives α∼2.5-3.
