Schrodingers Equation and the Infinite Potential Well

If you want to see more of these videos, or would like to say thanks for this one, the best way you can do that is by becoming a patron - see the link above :). And a huge thank you to all my existing patrons - you make these videos possible.

In this video, I explore the infinite potential well model of the semiconductor and derive an expression for the wavefunction of an electron within that semiconductor, as well as the allowed wavenumbers and energies of that electron.

This is part of my series on semiconductor physics (often called Electronics 1 at university). This is based on the book Semiconductor Physics and Devices by Donald Neamen, as well as the EECS 170A/174 courses taught at UC Irvine.

Hope you found this video helpful, please post in the comments below anything I can do to improve future videos, or suggestions you have for future videos.

6:02 "If you are a math person I don't advocate you doing this because you might have an aneurysm. If you are an engineer like me you will have absolutely no trouble with this ..." lol that was hilarious

These lectures are so beautifully and eloquently taught!!! Man I'm so happy I found them.

I normally don't comment on videos, but I have read every section in my textbook and attended every lecture, yet I get more out of this 14 minute video. Thanks for being so clear

Initial part of your lectures tells us the reason why we study Infinite Potential Well and I think that's the most important part may teachers skip. Thanks for this and best of luck.

I really appreciate this video explaining exactly what an infinite potential well is. Most college professors will just tell you there is an infinite potential well and expect you to conceptually understand what that is. Thank you!

[treslineas]

You are very clear. I got every step of the way.

[albertcamus]

Thank you! Finally an explanation of the "particle in the box" with an application.

[aselim.]

I watched this twice and I took notes.

[omoshiroi]

This was the clearest explanation I've ever seen for the wave number! Thanks a ton for this video.

[chipoostar]

Thank you so much !! Everything makes sense slowly and gets more clear

[vnwichk]

It's just so nice, clear, and useful, which saves me a large amount of time in comprehending, thanks much

[CogsofCogitation]

Thanks, been searching all over for this, great explanation.

[ahmetfurkankula]

It was a very neat explanation. Thank you, Sir!

[ItamiPlaysGuitar]

Four years later, still this man saves lives. What a legend

[SomeshRajvlogs]

Thanks Sir.
I was Struggling with these concepts.

[nikhilpant]

Sir, please continue this series I have to learn semiconductor physics.. My college have gross teacher, u r the only hope now and please recommend me some books too

[MM-eixv]

honestly, you're awesome! thank you!

[ajitzote]

I'm in love with your teaching sir!

[rajaumairkhan]

I have seen this video, it's so much helpful that i pressed the Bell icon, thank you sir.. 💕

[dusanlazic]

Thank you for your explanations. I finally understood some things.
