10. One can also define similar nematic order parameters for spin-1/2 systems, if we compose effective spin S ≥ 1 using multiple spins with S = 1/2.
11. For example, an exact diagonalization study supports the presence of the magnetic long-range order for the S = 1/2 case [B. Bernu, P. Lecheminant, C. Lhuillier and L. Pierre: Phys. Rev. B 50 (1994) 10048], and the order is more stable for a larger spin S = 1.
