31. Selective etch rates for different volume ratios are given by J. J. LePore, J. Appl. Phys. 51, 6441 (1980); we used jet etching with 30% concentrated H2 O2 and 58% concentrated NH3 [aq]. 10.1063/1.327598

34. The spectra were accordingly corrected for the frequency-dependent pump-probe overlap, not previously applied to our data. This results in only 25% rescaling but ensures highest precision in the spectral analysis.
