18. If the beam is shined along the DMS surface (propagation in the x0y plane), transitions are allowed between any two states m and m'; i.e., there are no selection rules.

20. z > 0, but g < 0, i.e., charge carriers are antiferromagnetically coupled to Mn spins. In the following, we use the convention that g > 0.
21. Proper boundary conditions must be imposed before the exact eigenstates can be found. These depend on the nature of the DMS-permalloy interface.
