5.4 Quantum Devices Energy Levels in a Single Quantum Well
... Since single atoms may also be described as SQWs (for one electron you just have the hydrogen atom type with a Coulomb potential), we must expect that the wave function of the electrons start to overlap as soon as the single SQWs in the MQW structure are close enough. The situation is completely ana ...

... Any object (including atoms) can emit or absorb only certain quantities of energy. Energy is quantized; it occurs in fixed quantities, rather than being continuous. Each fixed quantity of energy is called a quantum. An atom changes its energy state by emitting or absorbing one or more quanta of ener ...

REVIEW OF WAVE MECHANICS
... The wave function oscillates in space when the total energy E > V(r), the local potential energy. However when E < V(r) solutions of the TISE require the wave function to decay or grow exponentially. Clearly if the particle is to remain bound inside its well, its wave function must only decay into t ...
