9. The discrepancy might result from the higher impurity concentration and a resulting faster momentum scattering time in our Chochralskii-grown GaAs.
10. Sample A vl has been measured in a helium free cryostat, where 8 K was the minimum temperature.

12. There is a misprint in Eq. (11) of Ref.. Due to the number of atoms in the primitive unit cell (see Ref.) the factor of 16 has to be replaced by 4 and in Eq. (2) of Ref. it should read 2 n instead of n 2.
