18. The absorption corection factor has been numerically applied to the collected reflections based on the sample shape. The mean transmission (T) is 0.92 with the minimum at the (0, 0, 8) reflection (T = 0.79) and the maximum at the (2, 1, 1) peak (T = 0.95).

23. Our neutron diffraction measurement typically has beam size of 5 × 5 mm at the sample position and is larger than the 10 ∼ 100 μ m used in the RXS experiment that is comparable with magnetic domain size. See, for example, S. Boseggia, R. Springell, H. C. Walker, A. T. Boothroyd, D. Prabhakaran, D. Wermeille, L. Bouchenoire, S. P. Collins, and D. F. McMorrow, Phys. Rev.

25. The nulcear reflections are collected using two-axis mode, while the magnetic reflections are collected using three-axis mode to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The corresponding integrated intensities are corrected using the method described by R. Pynn, Acta Cryst. B ACBCAR 0567-7408 10.1107/S0567740875008151 31, 2555 (1975).
26. 1 IR can also describe the observed intensities. For simplicity, we use ψ (2) and ψ (3) to be consistent with the spin configuration reported in Ref..
