26. Mass values and experimental uncertainties have been estimated by doing measurements under slightly different temperature and excitation power conditions.

31. ′ is the energy distance between the top of the VB and Γ 5 c states in the CB; see Refs.
32. The different value found here for x = 1.9 % with respect to that reported in Ref. in the same sample is due to a more refined study involving measurements at different laser powers and temperatures.
33. At least at our knowledge, a very slight effect of Bi concentration on the conduction band has been reported only in the paper by B. Fluegel, A. Mascarenhas, A. J. Ptak, S. Tixier, E. C. Young, and T. Tiedje, Phys. Rev. B 76, 155209 (2007). 10.1103/PhysRevB.76.155209
