39. We simulate the magnetization isotherm at 2.5 K, which is somewhat larger than the experimental temperature of 1.5 K. The larger temperature used in the simulation is a necessary compromise between the sharp saturation of the FM (Cu1) subsystem around 2 T and the very broad saturation anomaly around 14 T. This difference between the two saturation processes is likely a signature of a spurious heating driven by a magnetocaloric effect in the pulsed-field experiment. Further measurements in static fields would be helpful for getting more accurate magnetization data.
40. Since Ref. reports an about 10 % underestimate in the magnetic entropy, we increase the experimental magnetic specific heat by 10 %.
