Figure 7.3: Lowest Bogoliubov b<strong>and</strong> at gn =0.5ER for different values of the potential depths:<br />

s =1(a), s =5(b) <strong>and</strong> s =10(c). The solid l<strong>in</strong>es are obta<strong>in</strong>ed from the numerical solution<br />

of Eqs.(7.14,7.15) while the dashed l<strong>in</strong>es refer to the tight-b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g expression (7.38).<br />
