The authors wish to make the following corrections to this manuscript [1]. During the publishing process, symbols that represented the absorption coefficient in Table 4 and thermal conductivity in Table 5 were changed such that they were inconsistent with the rest of the manuscript. Also, several of the entries in Table 6 were not presented with a bold typeface, although they should have been, as described in the caption of the table. The tables with the correct symbols and formatting are shown below. While the authors are not responsible for these errors, they regret any inconvenience or misunderstanding caused by them.
