21. The details of the PLE traces (fine structure, peak locations, etc.) are beyond the scope of the current discussion and are the subject of a more detailed future investigation.

25. Room-temperature PLE was also performed on the X-2LO emission peak near the band edge, and the excitation profile was virtually identical to that shown in Fig., except the "enhancement" at 3.26 eV was not as pronounced.

27. For moderate-strong exciton-phonon coupling, free exciton luminescence (X - 0 LO) is expected to be Gaussian in shape and redshifted from the exciton resonance E X by σ 2 / k B T ∼ k B T, where σ ∼ k B T is the width of the Gaussian line shape (Ref.). For m > 0, the peak position of X - m LO luminescence is expected to be atω X - m LO max = E X - m ω LO + (p + 1 / 2) k B T, where p = 1 for m = 1 and p = 0 for m > 1 (Refs.).
