27. At T > 120 K, the additional series resistance of the film regions adjacent to the GB is no longer small. Then, the subtraction procedure results in larger errors and the interpretation of the data is no longer reliable.
28. Very recently, a decreasing TMR ratio with increasing bias current has been reported by West-erburg et al., cond-mat/9906007 (1999). However, in this experiment a current and not a voltage bias has been used making an interpretation of this data in terms of our model difficult.
