35. Although for a finite confinement the 2D binding energy would be somewhat smaller, due to exciton spill-out in the barrier material, we expect that the relative difference between the QT and its 2D limit is less sensitive to the details of the confinement since it is mainly due to dielectric effects.
36. Small deviations from the 2D limit for GaAs and InP tubes at large diameters in Fig. are a numerical artifact due to less convergence in this extreme 2D limit.
