44. g in the fitting procedure rather than the inhomogeneous broadening. The energy spectrum is effectively free from the inhomogeneity of the sample by this treatment, or in other words, the chain with the most probable band-gap energy is mainly to be considered. This makes errors for various parameters somewhat smaller than those in our previous works.
