Title

A Numerical Analysis Of The Resonant States Of Quantum Well And Superlattice Devices

Abstract

A numerical method is presented that is shown to be useful in calculating the resonant states associated with quantum well and superlattice devices by determining the confined energy states. The method represents the time-independent Schrödinger equation as a series of simultaneous algebraic equations using the finite element technique. The eigenvalues of these equations are then found using a Sturm sequence, and the resonant wave functions are then subsequently calculated using a reverse iteration method containing orthogonality constraints. This approach was chosen for its computational efficiency. Simulations of specific devices are presented and compared with published experimental values. © 1990.
