38. At the moment of taking the microwave measurements presented in Sec. III both films were about 3 years old.

41. Film TF2 was cleaved into two slabs shortly after the film fabrication. The part of the film on which the majority of the measurements reported in this paper were made is referred to as “film TF2,” whereas the other part is referred to as the “reference part.”
42. Here we should note that in the x-ray measurements oxygen content is determined from the c-axis length. Though this relationship is not always unambiguous and may be influenced by other characteristics of the films (such as cation disorder, e.g.), in general for the films prepared by the same deposition method a longer c axis usually corresponds to the reduced oxygen content.
