34. -3 because for low impurity concentrations there are hardly any impurity scattering events contributing to spin dephasing, so that the spin-dephasing time rapidly approaches a time scale of 10 ns.
35. -3, the influence of screening keeps the carrier-carrier and carrier-phonon scattering alone from becoming more important for the spin dephasing.
