This process cannot change a total population of the level. Therefore it is always D⁽⁰⁾=0. We take formally into account only the depolarization rate D^(K) to use a formalism coherent with the previous papers. A general treatment of physically more relevant transfer of multipole components of the upper level is out of scope of this paper.
