21. Using energy dispersive x-ray analysis of a nominally identical thin film, we find that the composition of the thin film differs from the target composition. For the atomic concentration ratio between Fe and Co, we find 3.6 instead of 3. The exact relative amount of B is not known at this point.

30. We consider only the relative factor. Absolute values given by Eq. differ by about a factor of 2 from the measured ones.
