48. The GHz mobilities were obtained from pulsed radiolysis experiments (such as reported in Ref. 47). The carrier densities in these experiments were calculated assuming that all the energy deposited in the sample was used to generate charges. As this efficiency is generally much smaller than 100%, this sets a conservative lower limit for the carrier mobilities and an upper limit for the quantum efficiencies estimated here.
