18. On the contrary, in the range of our interest the bulk band structure along the Γ-T direction contains multiple bands and its dispersion is rather flat compared to that of the L-X line [see Y. Liu and R. Allen, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 52, 1566 (1995)]. This makes the spacing of quantized energy levels small and likely prevents us from making clear observation of QWSs as well as the surface resonances at Γ̄ [see Figs. 2 3]. 10.1103/PhysRevB.52.1566
