34. Only spin degrees of freedom are varied, keeping the orbital GS preserved.
35. The situation is even more complicated because the choice of U d depends on the relevant orbital (Ref.) and thus different values of U d should be used for Cu(1) and Cu(2)

37. + materials, U d = 10 ± 1.5 eV for Cu(1) and U d = 7 ± 1.5 eV for Cu(2) were chosen as typical values with sizable error bars for the resulting exchange integrals to account for the uncertainties in U d. An extensive study of the details including the DCC will be published elsewhere

40. Note that due to boundary effects also for the classical model on that finite lattice the expression given above is modified to J 2 c l a s s = 0.340 | J 1 | + 0.166 J ic

44. At low temperatures, finite-size effects are strong as evidenced by a sizable deviation between the results for different lattices as well as between N = 18 and N = 24 curves for the lattice 2
