13. Note when the Huang-Rhys parameter is small S∼1, the use of the single-breathing-mode vibration is approximate. As a result, the observed ratio of the sidebands to the ZPL may be much larger than predicted by Eq. (1) (Refs. 12 and 15).
14. For comparison, the vibrational parameters of the broad PL band at 2.9 eV observed in undoped GaN was shown to couple with pseudolocal and lattice phonons with energies of 36 and 91 meV, respectively (Ref. 7). The Huang-Rhys factors calculated for the pseudolocal and lattice coupling were 1.5 and 2, respectively. The low magnitude of the Huang-Rhys factors indicated that the coupling with pseudolocal phonons is weak (S∼1) for Mn acceptors in GaN (Refs. 12 and 15).

22. 3+ deep level in GaN was inconsistent with VRBE theory. In contrast, our experimental data indicated that Mn forms a deep level in the gap, which is predicted by VRBE theory.
