In this video I work out an example of the finite quantum well for typical values of the finite potential, electron mass, and quantum well length. We find a dramatic difference between the ground state energy predicted by the finite and infinite quantum well models.
This is part of my series on semiconductor physics (often called Electronics 1 at university). This is based on the book Semiconductor Physics and Devices by Donald Neamen, as well as the EECS 170A/174 courses taught at UC Irvine.
Hope you found this video helpful, please post in the comments below anything I can do to improve future videos, or suggestions you have for future videos.
