16. The orientations of the magnetic domains are not changed through the PD to FE-ICM phase transition because those are determined by the trigonal to monoclinic structural transition at ∼ 10 K (Ref.).
17. Effect of imperfect beam polarization of the incident neutrons has been corrected by subtracting the diffraction profile measured when the flipper is on (off) multiplied by (1 - p 0) / 2, where p 0 is the incident beam polarization, from the profile measured when the flipper is off (on).

26. + -concentration might be another reason for the fact that the diffraction profiles in the ferroelectric phase are broad (Ref.). However, the E p dependences of their widths are ascribed only to the changes in the average domain sizes, because no E p dependences of q has been found in this system.
