10. Really, this reaction path occurs in both tetragonal coordinates (Q2,Q3), but for the portion relative to the tetragonal minumum and potential barrier we can consider only the Q3 coordinate, see Fig. 1 in Ref..
11. This assumption, here supported on intuitive basis, is ideed a point in common with the modelization of Refs.. What is completely different is the mechanism producing the variable decay time in the emission.
