We'd like to emphasize that the energy-loss curve changes slope for the first time (corresponding to the first slowing down of the hole relaxation), around the energy of 2.38 eV (green arrow in Figure 8). The change of slope, in fact, is determined by the position of the first experimental point outside the dotted line connecting the points at high detection energies, and not by the position of the last experimental point on that line.
