Note that the impurity nature of the transitions at low temperature is not expected to change the dynamics observed in this experiment, since the excited impurity band largely overlaps with the excited miniband. Additionally, the elevated temperature of the excited electrons ensures that they are present mainly in the miniband rather than in the impurity band.
