45. For 2 K = 40 nm and 2 L = 90 nm [see Fig. 3(c)], α = β = 10. 8 meV nm, the four lowest eigenvalues of Hamiltonian (1) are (in meV) for B = 0 - 45. 5662, - 45. 5662, - 42. 7978, - 42. 7978, and for B = 5 T - 44. 3195, - 43. 0897, - 41. 6678, - 41. 1676. When one removes the cubic Dresselhaus and diagonal Rashba terms of Eq. (1) leaving only the linear terms of SO interaction, one obtains for 0 T - 45. 5661, - 45. 5661, - 42. 7996, - 42. 7996, and for 5 T - 44. 3061, - 43. 0753, - 41. 6817, - 41. 1612, respectively.

47. Note that the results with lines and symbols of Fig. 2 are obtained for different Hamiltonians. The symbols of Fig. 2 are obtained by diagonalization of matrix (11) operator in which the magnetic field enters exclusively through the Zeeman term. The lines are obtained for the exact Hamiltonian, in which the magnetic field modifies also the spatial operator h and the SO coupling terms. Nevertheless, this modification is very weak in the range of the magnetic field considered for the discussion of Fig. 2.
