Chapter 39, Problem 025
The two-dimensional, infinite corral of the figure is square, with edge length L = 160 pm. A square probe is centered at xy
coordinates (0.100L, 0.900L) and has an x width of 3.00 pm and a y width of 3.00 pm. What is the probability of detection
if the electron is in the E, 3 energy state?

One can now use integrated-circuit technology to manufacture a "box" that traps electrons in a region only a few nanometers wide. Imagine that we make an essentially one-dimensional box with a length of 3 nanometers. Suppose we put 10 electrons in such a box and allow them to settle into the lowest possible energy states consistent with the Pauli exclusion principle.
a) What will be the value of the highest energy level occupied by at least one electron?
b) What will be the electrons' total energy (ignoring their electrostatic repulsion)?
c) How would your answers to the above be different if the electrons were bosons instead of fermions?
d) What is the wavelength of the lowest energy photon that can be absorbed (the electrons in this box are fermions)?
An electron is in a three-dimensional box. The xx- and zz-sides of the box have the same length, but the yy-side has a different length. The two lowest energy levels are 2.18 eVeV and 3.47 eVeV, and the degeneracy of each of these levels (including the degeneracy due to the electron spin) is two.
What is the length LY for side of the box?
What are the lengths LXLX, LZLZ for sides of the box?
What is the energy for the next higher energy state?
What are the quantum numbers for the next higher energy state?
What is the degeneracy (including the spin degeneracy) for the next higher energy state?
