79. It should be noted here that density-functional theory (DFT)-based calculations normally predict the hole arms along the H-N-H direction to be connected (Refs.), whereas experimentally they are found to be disrupted (Refs.) near point N.

112. The same is true of Cr atoms; they gain nonzero average magnetic moments and as a result thermally induced longitudinal spin fluctuations. However, these moments are relatively small. Therefore, we hope that the relative error due to the neglect of longitudinal spin fluctuations is also small. On the other hand, at present, there is no consistent first-principles theory which can treat spin fluctuations in alloys.
