35. This should not be confused with the behavior of tunnel junctions with a noninteracting resonant level, where one usually has (Formula presented) and TMR increases with (Formula presented) [see, e.g., A.M. Bratkovsky, Phys. Rev. B 56, 2344 (1997)].10.1103/PhysRevB.56.2344
36. Had we dealt with inelastic spin-flip scattering, this reduction would have been stronger. A. Kaminski et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 384 (1999); 10.1103/PhysRevLett.83.384
