Abstract
The basic results of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics which were derived in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 will be targeted to relate more closely to the processes of device modelling. Particular reference will be made to periodic potentials, the dependence of effective mass on position, the effective mass approximation, and quantum wells in semiconducting devices.
