31. B = 1600 for our nanowires because the visible emission full width at half-maximum (∼500 meV) is four times broader than the UV emission fwhm (∼125 meV).
32. In Figure 3A the apparent rise times differ slightly due to intentional changes in the streak camera's time resolution (110 ps for micropowder, 50 ps for doped micropowder, 30 ps for nanowires). In all cases the rise times are instrument-limited.
