a, c We observe the distributions of moments for a specific atomic configuration where it settles into different magnetic configurations at 1 mK (100 K) under a +200 meV field. The moments of Cr sites are distributed on a pair of unit spheres. Each Cr site in the atomic configuration is represented by a unique color. The two spheres represent different magnetic configurations reached by the atomic configuration under different runs. b, d The magnitude of the magnetization for different runs (see legend) at 1 mK (100 K) as a function of Monte Carlo steps, in units of Cr moment per simulation cell (with 8 × 8 × 8 sites).
