25. The (formula presented) orbital level in the spinel structure splits into (formula presented) and (formula presented) symmetry combinations, though band-structure calculations show that the octohedral component in the crystal field, at the B site in (formula presented), is so strong that the splitting is negligible (Ref. 7).

28. We have repeated the calculation of Mishra et al. (Ref. 20), and the value we obtained for (formula presented) was 0.29 eV, smaller than theirs. The difference should be due to the larger number of mesh in our calculation taken for the k integration, though it is not important for the discussion here.

30. Strictly speaking, the Fe(B)-O network is formed not in cubes but in parallelepipeds, though it is approximately cubic in form, so we call them “cubes” in this paper for simplicity.
