Quantum Wells, Wires, and Dots
[attachment=31858]
Quantified semiconductors
Quantum confined semiconductors include:
quantum wells, which confine electrons or holes in one dimension and allow free propagation in two dimensions.
quantum wires, which confine electrons or holes in two spatial dimensions and allow free propagation in the third.
quantum dots, which confine electrons in all three spatial dimensions
