We demonstrate that the DOS diverges significantly from the ideal steplike two-dimensional electron gas form and this causes severe changes to the physical properties, e.g., to the spin-subband populations, the internal and free energy, the Shannon entropy, and the in-plane magnetization M. We predict a considerable fluctuation of M in cases of vigorous competition between spatial and magnetic confinement.}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.69.113302}, url = {https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.69.113302}, author = {Simserides, C.} }
