11. The main difference between the previous experiment (Ref.) and the present experiment is the bandwidth of the detection (<30 THz in the previous one), which enabled us to observe plasmonlike LOPC modes at the higher total carrier density than those in the previous study.

17. The data in Fig. was fit to also the power law of μ∼ N tot -1 and μ∼ N tot -1/3, according to the Drude model and the Coulomb screening model, respectively (Ref.). The former model reproduced the reduction in μ at Ntot <1.4× 1018 cm-3 well, while the latter one explained the behavior of μ at Ntot >1.4× 1018 cm-3.
