Abstract

In the lattice consisting of three quantum wires, the effect of the external electric field applied on the energy states of the electron is the focus of this study. The energy states and wave functions of the electron were calculated using the finite difference method with the effective mass approach. It was found that the energy states exhibit different behavior when the diameters of the quantum wires are considered as the same and different. When an electric field was applied to both quantum wire lattices, the electron's energy states showed interesting changes.

HARİCİ ELEKTRİK ALANI ETKİSİ ALTINDA 〖Ga〗_(1-x) 〖Al〗_x As/GaAs KUANTUM KUYU TEL ÖRGÜSÜNDEKİ ENERJİ DURUMLARI

Abstract

Üç kuantum telinden oluşan örgüde, uygulanan dış elektrik alanın elektronun enerji durumları üzerindeki etkisi bu çalışmanın odak noktasıdır. Etkin kütle yaklaşımı ile sonlu farklar yöntemi kullanılarak elektronun enerji durumları ve dalga fonksiyonları hesaplanmıştır. Kuantum tellerinin çaplarının aynı ve farklı olduğu düşünüldüğünde enerji durumlarının farklı davranışlar sergiledikleri bulunmuştur. Her iki kuantum tel kafesine bir elektrik alanı uygulandığında, elektronun enerji durumları ilginç değişiklikler gösterdi.
