32. Unlike the SDT due to the D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism calculated from the single-particle theory in the literature (Refs.) where a strong scattering limit is required, our spin kinetic Bloch equation approach is valid in both the strong and weak scattering limits; see also C. Lü, J. L. Cheng, and M. W. Wu, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.73.125314 73, 125314 (2006).
