| 6 | By completing the Bound States Calculation Lab in [[Resource(bsclab)]], users will be able to: a) understand the concept of bound states, b) the meaning of the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors, and c) the form of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for rectangular, parabolic and triangular confinement. | |||
| 7 | ||||
| 8 | ||||
| 9 | The specific objectives of the Bound States Calculation Lab are: | |||

| 15 | == Recommended Reading == | |||
| 16 | ||||
| 17 | Users who are new to the concept of bound states and solution of the Schrodinger equation for bound states should consult the following resources: | |||

| 31 | ||||
| 32 | * [[Resource(7224)]] (tutorial) | |||
| 33 | ||||
| 34 | * [[Resource(9094)]] (physical, analytical model) | |||
| 35 | ||||
| 36 | * [[Resource(8797)]] (simulation) | |||
| 37 | ||||
| 38 | * [[Resource(9098)]] (computational model) | |||
| 39 | ||||

| 43 | ||||
| 44 | ||||
| 45 | == Tool Verification == | |||
| 46 | ||||
| 47 | Verification of the PN-Junction tool is done by comparison of the | |||
| 48 | simulation results for the electric field in equilibrium with the depletion | |||
| 49 | charge approximation results. This verification process can be done only | |||
| 50 | while running the tool, as it superimposes the depletion charge | |||
| 51 | approximation results. | |||
