Geometry Induced Localization of Electrons in Quantum Pillars

We investigate the energies and wavefunctions of a structure consisting of one small cubic box centered on top of another larger with a uniform potential inside. This model is a representation of a quantum pillar on a substrate, a nanostructure with potential device applications. We find that the ei...
