17. The recombination times in samples A and B are not due to intrinsic radiative recombination but result from nonradiative decay due to a small laterally uniform background implantation dose applied in the FIB patterning process. The background implantation dose varies between FIB implantation runs. This results in different recombination times in samples A and B.

28. For very long time delays, the measured pump-probe signal is so small that noise prevents detailed analysis. Therefore, only the calculated trace is shown in Fig. 33.
