24. This value is derived from two independent measurements. Golsdtein (Ref. 19) has performed a calibration using cesium adsorption on Ge. Van Bommel et al. (Ref. 20) measure the cesium flux impinging on the sample, and derive the cesium concentration at the change of the sticking coefficient.

26. This also indicates that parts of the surface characterized by the (111) orientation, which may exist on sulfide-passivated surfaces due to anisotropic etching (Ref. 25), do not play a significant role, as these parts do not contribute to the observed RA signals. For p-type material, this etching has indeed been shown to be very small (Ref. 26), so that its effect should be limited.
