Columns: N, number of dipoles per configuration; 〈M/Msat〉, expectation value of spontaneous magnetization normalized by saturation magnetization; 〈DMO〉, expectation value of DMO; P90, 90th percentile of DMO, that is, Prob(DMO < P90) = 0.9; and P99, 99th percentile of DMO. Five-thousand configurations were computed for each N to obtain a good estimate of the probability distribution. (p > 0.8: Prob(DMO > 0.8).)
