It has been checked that a variation of K in reasonable constraints 1 meV < K < 20 meV will not change the fitted m at T = 0.3 K because this temperature is too low to turn the magnetization considerably into hard axis direction. For the fits at T = 4.2 K, we would have to assume K ≈ 1 meV in order to reproduce the value of m given in (2).
