45. We specifically mention the In-Sn contacts and the manganin wires because they are in good thermal contact with the 2DES and have short nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation times, T 1. The spin 3/2 Ga and As nuclei in the sample also present a nuclear heat capacity and may be involved as well. Presumably, however, only those Ga and As nuclei in the quantum well containing the 2DES would have short enough T 1 times to be relevant. There are far fewer such Ga and As nuclei than there are spin 9/2 In nuclei in the ohmic contacts.
