Caption: Figure 3.

Comparisons of (a) Dμμ and (b) scattering rate ν = Dμμ/(1 − μ2) between theoretical calculations and observation. In both panels, the dashed–dotted lines represent the contribution from the NLT gyroresonance result, and the triangle lines mark the QLT result from gyroresonance. The total Dμμ is represented by the solid lines, and the “*” lines are the experimental results from N. D. Maalal & M. Zhang (2025). The “o” line refers to the analytical result for the mirror interaction from Equations (6), (7).
