32. z to the spin-dependent Kondo peak is (almost) independent of δ and can be used to compensate the latter; see Refs. [13,25].

34. Note that this term does not involve a real energy relaxation mechanism. In an actual experiment, it could be accounted for by a transverse magnetic field or by a tunable spin-orbit coupling of the Rashba-Dresselhaus type.
