Application of a quantum wave impedance approach for a quantum capacitance calculation

Abstract

A method for a calculation of quantum capacitance for a two-dimesional electron gas (2DEG) in potential wells of complicated geometry on the base of a quantum wave impedance technique was proposed. The application of this method was illustated on four different forms of potential wells: infinite and finit rectangular well, a finit rectangular double well and a parabolic double well. It was shown how a quantum capacitance of these wells depends on its parametres. Numerical calculations of a quantum capacitance for mentioned potential wells were made at temperature $T=0$ and the results were presented graphically.
