30. However, the Ising type model can be applied for delute magnetic semiconductors only in the limit of small fraction of the magnetic atoms (x<0.2). A more accurate description should be based on a Heisenberg model. [See, for example, W. Y. Ching and D. L. Huber, Phys. Rev. B 26, 6164 (1982)].

33. Note that we here refer to the parity of the total wave function, including the cell-periodic part of the wave function, which has odd parity. Thus the states referred to as even (odd) parity has an envelope function with odd (even) parity.
