    Not sure about shape of this quantum well

    Hiya guys, i have a quantum well in strange notation I have never seen before. I think i can do the question, i just need to know the shape of the well. If someone would be so kind to draw me a shape (I think its a step but not sure?). It is: dphi dphi...

    1D Quantum Well - I'm getting something very basic wrong

    Ok, so this example question is in my lecture notes: Homework Statement "For a 1-D quantum well, 5nm width, 2eV barrier height, calculate the number of energy levels in the well." Homework Equations So the equation given is a familiar one: E_n=\frac{n^2 \pi^2 \hbar^2}{2 m L^2}...

    Laser question (Confinement factor and quantum well thickness)

    1. What do we mean by the carrier number at transparency. I mean, what is carrier transparency of a laser? 2. in an IEEE paper ("Circuit Modeling of Quantum-Well Lasers for Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits (ICs) Including Physical Effect of Deep-Level Traps" IEEE J. Quantum electronics...

    How Do Quantum Well Transistors Transport Charge Carriers?

    My understanding of a quantum well transistor is that it is created by sandwiching materials with higher bandgaps with smaller ones, so that it creates a potential well. So for instance, electrons will be forced to be confined within the well, as they would travel along the Quantum Well channel...

    Energy levels in quantum well structures

    Does anyone knows how to solve the following eigenvalue equation using matlab? so as to obtain the energy levels in a quantum well structure.. or does anyone has the codes or knows where to find the codes to do so? Eigenvalue equation: tan(sq_root(2mE/hbar^2)*(d/2)) = sq_root((V-E)/E) for...
