Equal-time spin-structure factor for three distinct temperatures in the high-symmetry [hhℓ] (left column) and [hk0] (right column) scattering planes for the Hamiltonian in Eq. (1) where the formation of sharp two-fold pinch points is observed as the temperature is decreased. Here, panels a, b, and c correspond to structure factors in the [hhℓ] (left) and [hk0] (right) scattering planes sampled at T = 1.585Jχ, T = 0.251Jχ, and in the T → 0+Jχ limit, respectively.
