1. Bound States Calculation Description

   out of 5 stars 

   05 Jul 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Dragica Vasileska

   These lectures describe the calculation of the bound states in an infinite potential well, finite potential well and triangular well approximation. At the end, shooting method, that is used to numerically solve the 1D Schrodinger equation, is briefly described.visit www.eas.asu.edu/~vasileskNSF

2. Energy Bands as a Function of the Geometry of the n-Well Potential: an Exercise

   out of 5 stars 

   05 Jul 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck

   Explores the position and the width of the bands as a function of the 10-barrier potential parameters. NSF

3. From 1 well to 2 wells to 5 wells to periodic potentials: an Exercise

   out of 5 stars 

   02 Jul 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck

   This exercise demonstrates that the interaction between the wells lifts the degeneracy of the quasi-bound states and if in the limit we have infinite periodic potential it leads to formation of energy bands. Notice that when the interaction is less strong the energy levels are more sharp and...

4. Notes on Scattering and Mobility in 1D, 2D, and 3D

   03 Nov 2009 | | Contributor(s):: Dmitri Nikonov, Md. Sayed Hasan, George Bourianoff

   Derivation of the phonon-limited mobility is reviewed for electrons in bulk (3D) orquantum confined (2D and 1D) semiconductor structures. Analytical estimates are madethat show the mobility in quantum confined structures is, in general, lower or no higherthan in non-confined ones.
