Calculate how much increase (in eV) of the conduction band edge would be resulted for the 10th subband, if you have created a quantum well (i.e., with 1D subband and 2D dispersion relation) by size quantization in the z-direction (thickness direction), resulting in a 5 nm-thick channel. In the parabolic dispersion (E-k) relation we learned in class, mc (conduction band effective mass) should be used for electron’s mass. Assume your channel is GaAs (mc for GaAs is 0.07mo, where mo...
