Module 6 : PHYSICS OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES
Lecture 31 : Electron in a Potential Well
  Before discussing this problem, let us consider the motion of an electron in a single square well potential .
The potential is given by
 
\begin{displaymath}V(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 0, & {\rm for}\ 0\le x\le a\\ \infty & {\rm otherwise} \end{array}\right. \end{displaymath}
