23. A similar feature, concerning phonon scattering suppression with regard to spin relaxation, has been recently put forward by other authors in Ref.. Spin-relaxation suppression may be also achieved by quenching the spin-orbit mixing as shown in C. F. Destefani and S. E. Ulloa, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.72.115326 72, 115326 (2005).
