9. With the capture numbers j and - (cf. Ref.), the theory predicts i () = [(i+2) j=1 i i] / [(i! - i+1)] 1/ (i+2).
10. Alternatively, one could first measure N as a function of Fα for different fixed temperatures to determine i, and then choose an appropriate F, which allows one to extract the energy parameters from the Arrhenius plot.
