50. In our definition (formula presented) is equal to the spin lattice relaxation time (formula presented) as used in the Bloch equations (Ref. 18) In the Valet-Fert (VF) theory (formula presented) is different. The difference originates from a different expression for (formula presented) In the VF theory (Ref. 32) (formula presented) whereas we derive (formula presented) In nonmagnetic metals the definition of Ref. 32] corresponds therefore to twice the value of our (formula presented) (formula presented)
