  1. All the irradiation processes mentioned in the table are done at \(\sim\)204 eV.
  2. The following short names are used for different processes, and the specific parameters for the indicated process for a given batch are explained in detail in the Methods and Results sections.
  3. Batches that have undergone the standard process are highlighted in bold.
