29. In both of the x-ray and neutron diffraction measurements, Hb -increasing scans were performed after zero-field cooling, in which the high-temperature PD phase coexists with the FEIC phase. However, we should mention that the same Hb dependence of the FEIC magnetic Bragg reflection is observed in the single FEIC phase, which is prepared by the cooling process with an applied field along [001] h axis.
30. The many-body effect can be introduced as C0 (1+ C′ cos2 Θ1,1) (1-α C′ cos2 Θ2,1) (1-α C′ cos2 Θ4,1). Here, we neglect the term O (α2), and obtain Eq. 2.
