50. We also fitted the measured C (formula presented) core-level spectra using a combination of Gaussian and Lorentzian contributions for the (formula presented) peak, instead of the Doniach-Sunjic function. For the samples with (formula presented) and 12 (formula presented), this leads to a small change of the fourfold percentage from 34% to 37% and from 53% to 55%, respectively. We decided to use the Doniach-Sunjic function in our fits, because of the better agreement with EELS data.

54. In the case of the sample generated with a laser fluence of 1 (formula presented), the fit with free parameters gave very different FWHM’s for the two components (1.70 and 1.25 eV for the (formula presented) and (formula presented) components, respectively), and imposing equal FWHM’s gave unsatisfactory fits. In this case, we therefore estimated the errors by fixing the FWHM of the (formula presented) component at 1.25 eV.
