Abstract

We have used Gaussian shape of individual phonon replicas for fitting the experimental curve as suggested by Collan and Krustok. Better fit has been obtained using the parameters E₀ (zero phonon energy)=1.28 eV, E_ph (phonon energy)=0.038 eV, δ (phonon broadening parameter)=0.026 eV and S (Hwang-Rhys factor)=2.13. Thus, the results of Pal and Bose remain unchanged. Fitting parameters used by Collan and Krustok have no physical significance.
