20. Y. Yasui (private communications). The model of seven-spin cluster does not completely reproduce the shape of neutron scattering intensity map. Therefore, the spin correlation is also interpreted as the short-range order of a complex arrangement like the spin ice in the similar materials Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7, rather than the spin molecule.
