21. ss = 2. The authors claimed this was consistent with the density of states distribution. However, these authors did not actually measure the density of states distribution directly. Instead it was calculated from the kinetic data, thus weakening the case for determination of y from the density of states, (van de Lagemaat, J.; Kopidakis. N.; Neale, N. R.; Frank, A. J. Phys. Rev. B 2004, 71, 035304.)
