10. The linewidths of the multiexciton bands are comparable to the width of the single-exciton emission spectrum, suggesting that there is no size selection within the quasi-monodisperse ensemble during the generation of multiexcitons. Therefore, the ensemble mean multiexciton emission energies can be characterized by the centers of the XX and XX* bands.
