I compared a free electron in a 10nm x 10nm x 10nm closed box with an analytical formula and got a very different result
I expect to get 0.011eV for the ground state quantization energy.

The tool gives me 0.040eV.

Is it a problem in my interpretation of the results or the tool is wrong?

    I believe with the release of the new tool version this has been resolved. Please let us know if it has not.

    Hi,

    The tool has been updated with NEMO 5 and the ground state energy for quantum dot with a free electron gives us 0.0138 eV which is I think comparable to 0.011 eV.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the info! We will look into this problem. This might be yet another reason to replace the NEMO 3D engine with NEMO 5.
