6. The top GaAs layer was employed to avoid the influence of the surface depletion.
7. We have also carried out self-consistent calculations to find that the effect of the band-bending on the PL energy is negligibly small.

9. In reality, the dependence is sublinear. This is partly because the carrier concentration is decreased by the thermal annealing. Typically, the carrier concentration of n-type samples dropped to half of the initial values.
