37. The bilayer valence-band energy shown is within the lower of the spin-split bands at (Equation presented), where we have the highest tunnel sensitivity into the Brillouin zone corners. The schematic in Fig. 4(e) also represents the most relevant bands in bilayer (Equation presented) at this energy.
