Consider two electrons in a one-dimensional infinite square length of width L. Assume the two electrons are in the same spin state (x1 = X2). (a) Find the wavefunction and energy of the ground state of this two-electron state. (b) Find the energy and wavefunction of the first excited state, still assuming the electrons are in the same spin state, X, = X2

Expert Solution
Step 1

Electrons are fermions so we use anti-symmetric wavefunction for such system.

Dear student, for theory part you have to follow books.i suggest you some books.
