  1. 1 The total energy of the nonmagnetic M1 phase is lower than that of the nonmagnetic R phase
  2. 2 The R phase shows no long-range magnetic order
  3. 3 The M1 phase is nonmagnetic
  4. 4 The R phase is metallic
  5. 5 The M1 phase is insulating. Fulfilled and not fulfilled criteria are shown by √’s and ×’s, respectively127. Copyright© 2012 the American Physical Society
