13. It is worth noting that we have also tried to fit the line shapes by using all the parameters free, including quasi-Fermi levels and temperature. In this case, convergency was obtained with temperatures in the range of 1–2 meV and densities very close to the doping density (within 10%), with similar BGR values.
14. The edge of the PLE spectra was taken at half maximum of the absorption edge.
