Abstract

This document provides guidance to first-time users of the Periodic Potential Lab tool. It offers basic information about solutions to the Schröedinger Equation in case of periodic potential in 1 dimension (1D). This document also contains suggested exercises to help users run the tool and understand the associated concepts. If you encounter any errors or problems running the tool, feel free to contact us. Suggestions for improvement are also welcomed.
