15. Assuming a nearest-neighbor superexchange interaction J 125 meV the effective molecular magnetic field (N S J) is on the order of 250 meV in cuprates. The effect of an external magnetic field is (2 S + L) B on the order of 0.06 meV/tesla. A canting due to B would be on the order of 0.01 ° / tesla.
