Finite Potential Well: (eV) Electron energy: E > U0 Electron energy: E < U0 (nm) Regions: -∞ to 0 0 to a a to +∞ VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Last section of Chp. 02 is about the Finite Barrier: VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
A last look at the finite well, for E > U0 too: VM Ayres, ECE874, F12

E > Anderson V0 Pierret U0 VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
E > Anderson V0 Pierret U0 VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
E < Anderson V0 Pierret U0 This is the expression for T that Pr. 2.8 is referring to. VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Which situation is this: to start? When part (a) is finished? cosh sinh VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
To start: situation is: tunnelling through the barrier cosh sinh VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
When part (a) is finished, situation being described is: transport “over” the barrier region, by using Pr. 2.9’s mathematical manipulations Starting description: E < U0 Finish description for: E > U0 VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Which situation is this? VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Transport “over” the barrier region: E > U0 with transmission coefficient T given by: VM Ayres, ECE874, F12

Describe e- as a wave: Next Unit cell VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
e- described as a wave fitting into a periodic U0 situation.What happens? The Block theorem is the end result of boundary condition matching over multiple Unit cells. Result is: Only a phase shift when you get back to a repeat situation. The repeat situation is not the lattice constant unless you are moving in <100> direction. Variable “a” = the distance between atomic cores in a particulates transport direction. VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Another useful way to describe the same wave function for e-: This emphasizes that the e- is described by a travelling wave expikx that is being modulated by a repetitive environment. VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
The two descriptions are equivalent. Equation (3.3) p. 54 VM Ayres, ECE874, F12

Kronig-Penney model: approximate the real U(x) due to a row of atomic cores (top) by a series of wells and finite barriers (bottom). VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
