The experimental results have been adjusted from Ref. 8, for the authors defined an effective spin flip time for a single spin, (formula presented), and plotted their results for (formula presented) The DK calculation (dot-dashed line) is of (formula presented), so in addition to the errors in trends, the discrepancy in the magnitude of (formula presented) (using our values of the confinement energy) is about a factor of 4 in Figs. 22(a) and 22(b).
