17. Several theoretical tests have been made. In case of co-doping of ZnO, for example, see Ref. [2] and Y. Yan, S. B. Zhang, and S. T. Pantelides, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 5723 (2001).
18. Although diamond is in a non-equilibrium state, diamond-to-graphite transformation will not affect the complex formation, since the relaxation time of the former is much longer than that of the latter.
19. Kinetics of impurity atoms on crystal surfaces is an important factor to affect the impurity incorporation efficiency itself, denoted as x in Eq. (4) in the text.
