7. 4 (barrier of about 3 kJ/mol). The hole - if one is produced -probably refills rapidly by tunneling. Faster detection schemes might see such a hole.

30. The usual distinction between homogeneous and inhomogeneous effects assumes considerable separation of time scales with respect to the time scale of the experiment. Situations in which such a separation is not possible must be discussed in a more sophisticated manner: Mukamel, S. Principles of Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy, Oxford: New York, 1995; 543 pp.
