12. Also note that in general the exchange effects depend on the relative number of electrons in each subband (see Ref. 13), therefore, as the field intensity increases their contributions to the transition energy decrease. This shrinks the transition energy, partially compensating for the effect of the Hartree contribution, which tends to increase it.
