ABSTRACT


In this work, the energy levels and wave functions in rectangular and cylindrical nanowires with a finite potential well are calculated. The Schrödinger equation in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinate systems was solved by the shooting method. The calculations take into account the nonparabolicity of the energy spectrum of electrons. The graphs of the dependence of the energy levels on the sizes of nanowires are obtained. When calculating the energy levels and wave functions, changes in the effective mass of electrons were taken into account. The calculations were performed for the quantum well of the InP/InAs/InP heterostructure.


Keywords: Nanowires, Quantum wells, Heterostructure, Energy levels, Wave function, Nonparabolic zone
