33. The use of lambda for both decay lengths (λAu, Ppy) and the transition parameter (λtrans) is an attempt to be consistent with the prevailing terminology in different subdisciplines. Also, the reported values for surface tensions and energies vary greatly and often conflict. In the case of the surface energy of Ppy, we have chosen to use the surface tension value. The reported Ppy composition and surface tension measurement approximate our system better than reported surface energy values.
