26. (formula presented) is about three times larger than (formula presented) at the same temperature. This level of initial anisotropy is not uncommon in 2DES, whether they are patterned or cleaved into squares. It is probably due to small density variations leading to current inhomogeneities. However, it cannot be the origin of the strong anisotropy since the strong anisotropy observed at (formula presented) 6, and 8 is pegged to (formula presented) and not to any particular sample direction.

28. Strictly speaking, the separation into subband levels and Landau levels only holds at zero tilt angle. At nonzero tilt they are mixed and one can use this nomenclature only approximately.
