- The paper tackles challenging topics on the estimation of energy band levels, which is of great relevance for many disciplines. This is a direct outcome of EPSRC project EP/K022237/1 and EP/M024938/1. It merges experimental and theoretical efforts resulting from a collaboration between Ulster University, University of St Andrews and colleagues in China and Japan. The work challenges the fundamental concepts of semiconductor theory applied to quantum confined systems and exposes limits and benefits of experimental measurements and theoretical calculations.
