31. It has been shown that Ca vacancies in CaO generate a local magnetic moment primarily concentrated on the surrounding octahedron of O ions; see I.S. Elfimov, S. Yunoki, and G.A. Sawatzky, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 216403 (2002). Similarly, the compensating charge associated with a Cu vacancy in a CuO2 plane may result in a local magnetic moment on the surrounding O ions.
