48. Note that the spectral weights of the transverse-optical conductivity shown in the insets of Fig. behave differently for both salts. Only the electronic hopping integrals calculated using pressure-dependent unit-cell parameters demonstrate agreement with the generic temperature-pressure phase diagram (Ref.).
