24. Since the main contribution to the capture from remote pairs is due to capture of carriers to the excited states of the donor or acceptor, and the excited states do not exhibit such pronounced site dependence of their energies, we do not expect large differences in the capture cross section of remote pairs with any combination for the sites of the donor and the acceptor.

28. We consider the value 3287 meV as more probable than our previous estimate of 3286 ± 1 meV, made in I. G. Ivanov, J. Zhang, L. Storasta, and E. Janzén, in Proceedings of the International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials 2001 (Trans Tech, Switzerland, 2002), p. 613. The reason is that the excitonic band gap seems to be closer to 3266 than to 3265 meV, as taken in this reference.
