17. This definition settles the conformity of Eq. 9 and the matrix representation of the local potential. See T. Ando and K. Akimoto, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. JUPSAU 0031-9015 73, 1895 (2004).
18. The expression in the form of Eq. (6) was evaluated earlier; see Eq. (3.56) of F. X. Bronold, A. Saxena, and D. L. Smith, in Solid State Physics, edited by, H. Ehrenreich, and, F. Spaepen, (Academic, New York, 2004), Vol. 58. We use the relaxation tensor Γ in a form that can be applicable to the scattering at localized spin moments
