27. We have considered the spin injection model for transparent contacts from Ref. that corrects formula addressing the impedance mismatch. The influence of the correction on the injection efficiency is below 10%.
28. - 2 the broadened curve approaches the unbroadened one determined from the measurements.
29. In metals it is known that the ratio between spin and momentum relaxations is approximately the same for scattering induced by impurities or electron-phonon interactions. We assume that this is also the case in graphene.
