23. Temperature uncertainties reflect uncertainties in the corresponding H diffusion rates as well as uncertainties in the H attempt frequency and activation energy.
24. The uncertainties of the (formula presented) ratio reflect the dependence of the (formula presented) measurement on (formula presented) through the use of (formula presented) in determining the temperatures.
25. The agreement between activation energies, in spite of the disagreement between attempt frequencies, can be attributed to a ∼40 K temperature offset between the two experiments.

30. Estimating a temperature limit is complicated by the 0.3-eV raising of the diffusion barrier for H atoms when they become paired on a single Si dimer.
