Comments:

A different 3k rhombohedral model with MSG RI-3c (see entry #3.28) can equally well fit the diffraction data, and with similar value of m. The present model is however considered more probable as the one corresponding to the real system. See the discussion in the paper for further details.
The structure is described in the standard setting of the MSG.
Apart from the spin arrangement, the structure includes a small monoclinic strain with respect to the parent cubic phase.

Comments (symmetry):

1k magnetic structure
2-dim irrep along a special direction as primary irrep
A symmetry-allowed secondary irrep component with moment components along z (in the standard setting used) is also present with a significant value
