Finite Potential Well
A finite potential well is a region of the one-dimensional potential energy space with finite depth. It represents a potential barrier that prevents particles from tunneling through it.
An electron trapped in a finite potential well has quantized energy levels. The allowed energy levels are determined by the potential barrier's depth and width. The deeper the potential well, the narrower the energy levels. The width of the energy levels also depends on the width of the potential well.
The wave function of an electron in a finite potential well is localized near the potential barrier, but it can also extend into the region beyond the well. This is due to the finite potential barrier's ability to influence the wave function in a non-trivial way.
The energy of an electron in a finite potential well is quantized and depends on the potential barrier's depth and width. The deeper the potential well, the higher the energy levels. The width of the energy levels also depends on the width of the potential well
