5. This argument holds also in the presence of stray fields from the ferromagnet which rotate invariantly with the magnetization.

7. There is some uncertainty as to whether the experimental data on (formula presented) might suffer from an interfering effect; see, e.g., A C H. Rowe, J. Nehls, R A. Stradling, and R S. Ferguson, Phys. Rev. B63, 201307(R) (2001).
8. Note that even in the limit of (formula presented) the eigenstates (3) are linear combinations of spin-up and spin-down states. Pure spin eigenstates could be obtained in this limit by including a Zeeman spin splitting Δ in the Hamiltonian which in the end is allowed to vanish.
