ED results with N = 24 for \(\langle {S}_{i}^{a,b,c}\rangle\) in the lowest state in the AG phase at ϕ/π = 0.85 with a field in the \(\hat{{{{\bf{b}}}}}\)-direction of strength 0.002. The green, blue and cyan colors indicate positive values while orange, red, and pink indicate negative values. The size of the circles are proportional to the value of \(\langle {S}_{i}^{a,b,c}\rangle\). a\(\langle {S}_{i}^{a}\rangle\), b\(\langle {S}_{i}^{b}\rangle\), c\(\langle {S}_{i}^{c}\rangle\).
