14. Only the experimental data above 85 K were considered. In the low temperature range, significant antiferromagnetic order occurs in the compound without magnetic field. In this case, the field-induced phase transition is from the antiferromagnetic state to the ferromagnetic state and may obey a different rule. Partial results calculated by the Maxwell relation based on the magnetic data are also presented for reference (full symbols).
