An electron is confined to move in the xy plane in a rectangle whose dimensions are Lx and Ly. That is, the electron is trapped in a two dimensional potential well having lengths of Lx and Ly. In this situation, the allowed energies of the electron depend on the quant numbers Nx and Ny, the allowed energies are given by
E = H^2/8Me ( Nx^2/ Lx^2 + Ny^2/Ly^2)
i) assuming Lx and Ly =L. Find the energies of the lowest for all energy levels of the electron
ii) construct an energy level diagram for the electron and determine the energy difference between the second exited state and the ground state?
Consider a one-dimensional square potential well with a width of L and depth Vo. An
electron is confined within this potential well.
a) Calculate the energy levels of the electron in terms of L and Vo.
b) Determine the wavelength of the electron associated with its lowest energy
state (n=1).
c)
If the potential well has the width of L=5nm and Vo=10eV, calculate the
energy of the electron in its lowest energy state.
We are going to use Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to estimate the ground-
state energy of hydrogen. In our model, the electron is confined in a one-
dimensional well with a length about the size of hydrogen, so that Ax = 0.0529
nm. Estimate Ap, and then assume that the ground-state energy is
roughly Ap2/2me. (Give your answer in Joules or electron-volts.)
