Show that in a parabolic potential well, the spacing between the energy levels is constant. In semiconductors, parabolic potential wells are often produced by using narrow square potential wells where the well to barrier width ratio gradually changes. Use the virtual crystal approximation to design a GaAs/AlAs parabolicwell where the level spacing for the electron is approximately 8meV. (Hint: This isthe harmonic oscillatorproblem.)

For a particle in an infinite potential well the separation between energy states increases as n increases (see Eq. 38-13). But doesn’t the correspondence principle require closer spacing between states as n increases so as to approach a classical (nonquantized) situation? Explain.

Lennard–Jones potential diagrams, also called intermolecular potential energy diagrams, illustrate the relationship between the potential energy of a molecule as the distance between the two nuclei changes. Select all of the true statements regarding Lennard–Jones potential diagrams from the list below. Once the attractive forces are greater than the repulsive forces, the outer orbitals are able to overlap, thereby allowing a bond to form. Once a balance is found between the attractive and repulsive forces, the outer orbitals are able...
