  • Abstract
    A numerical technique for the exact analysis of quantum wells with arbitrary potential profile is presented. Numerical examples for GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs rectangular quantum wells, graded wells and wells with applied electric field are presented. The technique is simple but highly accurate and can be easily implemented on a small computer such as a PC.
