Ab-initio modeling of asymmetrical finite-barrier quantum wire structures

Summary form only given, as follows. A rigorous semi-numerical method for analyzing quantum wire structures has been developed. The method consists of developing a hierarchy of auxiliary problems. The method is demonstrated by analyzing a quantum wire structure characterized in terms of a fairly complex potential function. Application of the proposed method to several structures involving periodically arranged finite-aperture quantum wires, sandwiched between symmetric or asymmetric finite barriers, will conclude the paper.
