13. If the electron mass is not neglected, the particles deviate slightly from E×B orbits, and the density contours need not be aligned with the potential contours. These effects are particularly important near the Brillouin limit. See, T. N. Tiouririne, L. Turner, and A. W. C. Lau, Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 1204 (1994).
