  1. \(T_{a}\) refers to the annealing temperature. In the case of both GdCd7.88 and the Gd5Cd100 LMPF sample with \(T_a\) = 380 K, the QC hyperspace lattice parameter \(a_{6D}\) is given instead of the lattice parameter2 (\(a_{1/1}=a_\textrm{6D}\sqrt{\frac{2}{2+\tau }}(1+\tau )\) where \(\tau\) is the golden ratio5). We have considered uncertainties of ± 0.5 K on \(\theta\)CW and ± 0.05 \(\mu _B\) on peff. \(^{*}\) peff calculated assuming the molecular weight of GdCd7.88.
