12. The idea of using evolution operator to find the Wannier states was imployed earlier in the paper C.L. Roy, P.K. Mahapatra, J. Phys. C 13, 5365 (1980). However, our approach differs from that in the paper cited.
13. A relevant result was obtained in the paper J. Zak, Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 2623 (1993), where the states of a crystal electron under simultaneous influence of d.c. and resonant a.c. field were analyzed.
