Talk:Finite potential well

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just added the ref. to Griffiths, ie

• Griffiths, David J. (2005). Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, 2^nd ed., Prentice Hall. ISBN 0131118927.

as there wasn't one. It's practically identical as whats in the book on the pg90-95 area.

Is it considered more standard to have the potential be 0 inside the box and a value Γ outside or to have the potential be zero everywhere except inside the box, where it would have a value of -V? I'm tempted to re-write the section with the second convention, unless there are strong objections. KristinLee 01:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I vote to rewrite it with the second convention. Pfalstad 01:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I think it would be helpful if more information was added to the page in general. It seems to be all equations and therefore not especially helpful to a physics student like me. Maybe a couple pictures or figures?

[edit] merge finite potential well w/ finite potential barrier

These are two totally different cases; the articles should not be merged. Pfalstad 02:51, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, don't merge! Bamse 04:50, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry...I took a quick look and thought they were the same...I will remove the merge notice.--GregRM 21:20, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I see now that they differ in the potential energy function...my error.--GregRM 21:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
