New results presented by Wang et al. showing the temperature dependence of the Y3Ga5O12:Ce3+ energy bandgap have been taken into account in the calculations of the changes of the energy distance between the lowest 5d state of Ce3+ and the edge of the conduction band. Our calculations show that the diminishing of the band gap energy with temperature has a negligible effect on the difference between the energy of the conduction band and the localized states of the 5d configuration of Ce3+, which means that the new experimental results do not undermine the validity of the conclusions of our previous paper.
王等人提出的新结果表明，Y3Ga5O12:Ce3+ 能隙的温度依赖性已纳入计算最低 Ce3+ 5d 态和导带边缘之间的能量距离变化中。我们的计算表明，能带隙能量随温度的减小对导带能量和 Ce3+ 5d 组态局域态之间的能量差影响可以忽略不计，这意味着新的实验结果并未破坏我们之前论文结论的有效性。
