19. The small aggregation numbers (≤6) proposed in Ref. [8] are inconsistent with the cyclic model (ansatz of the proposal), too, and then they are neglected in this work.
20. y (the intermolecular interaction is stronger in the y direction and the aggregate grows in the x direction), but such cases are not very likely.
21. Strictly speaking, Eqs. (1) and (3) in Ref. [17] are not rigorous (they are inconsistent with each other). Nevertheless, the discussion in Ref. [17] estimates the lower limit of the aggregation number of the J-aggregates of a merocyanine dye analogous to DS.
22. The widths of the J-bands include a contribution of the inhomogeneous broadening effect, but such a contribution is not expected to have a strong correlation with Δν. Thus, the change in FWHM correlating with Δν can be considered a contribution of the motional narrowing effect.
