36. The QW subbands are calculated by a finite element solution of the Luttinger Hamiltonian in the relevant crystallographic directions. See J. Los, A. Fasolino and A. Catellani, Phys. Rev. B 53, 4630 (1996). Note that the QWR ground state is actually slightly above the QW2 continuum, contrary to the expectation for a localized level. Actually, this is a fictitious result due to the different accuracy between the plane-wave expansion of QWR states and the real-space representation used to calculate the QW states. In reality, the QWR ground state, being localized, lies slightly below the QW continuum. However, for this structure the binding energy is very small.
