RESUMO
Abstract We discuss the influence of several factors on the deviations from energy spectrum of an infinite square quantum well (QW) for real microscopic systems that can be approximately modelled using particle in a box. We introduce the “blurring” potential in the form of the modified Woods-Saxon potential and solve the corresponding Schrödinger equation. It is found that the increase of the degree of blurring δ of the QW leads to the increase of number of the energy levels inside it and to increase of deviations from the quadratic dependence ε (n) (ε is the particle energy, n is the energy level number) typical for the infinite square QW, especially, for the energy levels close to the QW “tops”. It is most surprising that for relatively “large” values of δ the difference between the levels energies of such well and the appropriate (with the same n) levels energies of the square QW with the same depth changes sign (from positive to negative) as number n increases. We also conclude that the asymmetry of the QW and non-equality m i n ≠ m o u t (where m i n and m o u t are the particle effective mass inside and outside the QW) play a significant role for the relatively “shallow” well near the QW top.
