2-d Finite barrier rectangular quantum dots I: Schrodinger description

The bound state energy levels of a finite barrier rectangular shaped quantum dot are obtained using a transfer matrix method and imposing parity and rotation symmetries of the dot on the wavefunction. Energy relations containing potential depth, dot size and effective masses are found in the 2-fold degenerate quantized transcendental equations. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
