43. The proper inclusion of the energetic disorder requires that similar calculations are repeated a lot of times for different realization of the disorder until the resulting signals are converged. Typically we had to use 1000 to 2000 realization to get convergence. Due to this increase in the numerical effort the calculations with disorder were only performed for (Formula presented) and (Formula presented).
