43. Here we have neglected the volume occupied by the interconnecting channels. Since the maximum density for a HCP structure with no spaces between spheres is ρ/ρ0=0.74 [J. Kepler, Strena seu de nive sexangula (1611), edited and translated by, Colin Hardie, (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1966).], this will lead to an underestimate of Λ of less than 10%.
44. The BBO crystal used was 6×6×10 mm, was AR coated for 355nm and 760-800nm, and was cut at an angle of 52.1°. The crystal was mounted in a cell with a Brewster window at the input and an AR-coated fused silica window at the output. The cell had a static seal with helium gas and the crystal was mounted on an adjustable platform to adjust the z and x axis. The y axis, which optimizes the phase-matching angle, was rotated using a commercial motorized rotational stage. The rotation along the y axis was used to produce sum frequency mixing of 243nm light at 49.8°.
45. The number of counts in the background region differed from zero (by <5%, see Fig. 7) because of small drifts associated with changes in the Ps fraction due to charging of the glass sample substrate. Since the form of the laser-off lifetime spectra is independent of the beam energy in the background region, the background determined in this way properly accounts for small changes in the Ps fraction between the laser-on and laser-off measurements.
46. The data shown in Fig. 10 have statistics poorer than those found in Fig. 8 because of larger than usual variations in the power applied to the interaction region caused by a less than optimal mode structure.
