Energy levels with partial surface-bound state character, obtained from numerical solution of equation (4). (a) shows of energy levels with parameters k0L=15 and υ⊥=0.2υz. The levels cross (red crosses) a fixed reference energy (horizontal blue line), with nearly equal spacing for (corresponding to periodic-in-1/B quantum oscillations), then stop crossing for . (a) (corresponding to B≈1 T for typical expected value of k0≈0.1 Å−1). (b) shows that n>0 levels collapse to expected semiclassical form. Only the lowest energy level deviates from the expected semiclassical form, (the jaggedness of this line is a numerical artifact).
