19. We erroneously reported that transport in a poor crystalline quality Gax Cr1-x N film with a small magnetic moment (<0.1 μB Cr) (as a result of being grown under nonoptimal conditions on sapphire) exhibits a T-12 dependence over a very limited temperature range. More careful analysis indicates that the T-14 dependence is more appropriate as it is a better fit to the data over a much wider temperature range (30-120 K).
