24. g(T) is weakly dependent on β and it is mainly dependent on α. This prevents the extraction of accurate best fit values of β by leaving it free in the fitting session.

30. The assumption of a single thermally activated process is the simplest to describe the observed exponential decrease of the PL intensity in the range 40-170 K. We observe that a similar PL temperature dependence could result also from more complicated processes, like the thermal activation of trapping in a distribution of defects at slightly different energies.
