26. An earlier attempt to derive such a scaling from the Kazantsev-Kraichnan model produced a different result λ ∼ log ∼ (Rm) [I. Rogachevskii and N. Kleeorin, Phys. Rev. E PLEEE8 1063-651X 56, 417 (1997). 10.1103/PhysRevE.56.417]. The discrepancy is a consequence of an incorrect asymptotic matching procedure employed in that paper for establishing the dynamo threshold and calculating the dynamo growth rate.
