32. In our previous paper (Ref. 4), we fitted the PG signals by the biexponential function without considering the acoustic TG signal contribution. Therefore the slower lifetime in this paper is slightly different from the value presented previously. The lifetime of the faster component in this paper is the same as that in the previous paper because the effect of the acoustic TG signal does not appear significantly in the early time scale.
