16. The Zeeman energy is an order of magnitude smaller than the interaction energy. The spin- polarization transition discussed in this paper is spontaneous and purely due to interaction effects; the infinitesimal Zeeman term in our calculations only helps to pick a direction in spin space.
17. In the experimental setup of Ref., screening effects due to the upper 2DEG will modify the Coulomb interaction. However, this will only lead to a quantitative change for our predictions; the qualitative features will remain unchanged.
18. This choice is based on experimental parameters of Ref A.
19. -1, we find evidence of charge reconstruction for both spin species. At these densities, however, the second mode of the strip would be occupied, which is not included in our analysis.
