17. We adopt a notation similar to that used by Paget in Ref., except that we have excluded additional numerical prefactors for bn and be (the leakage factor f and effective donor occupancy Γ) which cannot be determined independently.

22. This approach ignores the dynamics of the nuclear-spin system, for which Eq. is true only in equilibrium. It will nevertheless arrive at a correct self-consistent steady-state solution for the coupled electron-nuclear-spin dynamics.
23. In fitting the data, the error in S 0 is estimated to be about 20%. The error in nuclear field parameters is less than 20%.
