18. The PL spectra at 80 K are essentially identical, except for a ∼4 meV redshift.

20. These two transitions, and the QD5 transition, are unresolved in the PL spectra, even at high excitation density, and so the fifth Gaussian peak in the fits represents a convolution of their PL response.

22. The sloping background to the QD spectrum made the determination of the PR modulus unreliable here (See Ref. 4).
