Information
Course Goal / Objective
To introduce the Schrödinger equation to the students and to find solutions to it for the quantum wells, quantum wires, and quantum dots that form at heterostructures. The student gains experience by working on one dimensional simple problems that forms the basis of more complex problems.
Course Content
Wave mechanics and Schrödinger´s equation, free particles, bound particles, charge and current density, operators, band structure in one dimension, motion of electrons in energy band, density of states, band structure in two and three dimensions, phonons.
