A chart for the energy levels of the square quantum well
Abstract
A chart for the quantum mechanics of a particle of mass m in a one-dimensional potential well of width w and depth V0 is derived. The chart is obtained by normalizing energy and potential through multiplication by 8 mw2 / h2, and gives directly the allowed couples (potential, energy), providing insights on the relation between the parameters and the number of allowed energy levels.
