It is noted that differing from our many-body treatment, they only considered the electron-electron scattering to the lowest order (second order) and used perturbation approach to calculate the SDT. So the Coulomb scattering is only important for temperature lower than 100 K. In our many-body approach, we have taken account of the Coulomb scattering to all the orders and it has been shown the Coulomb scattering is important to temperature much higher than 100 K.
