29. We have disregarded the magnetization damping in the derivation the Onsager coefficients. If damping is included, the same results are obtained, but a transformation between the Landau-Lifshitz equation and the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation is required at two intermediate steps in the derivation. See Refs. and for further details.
