Physics Electron in Potential Well Electrons in Potential Wells

	An electron trapped in a finite well:
	t is convenient to consider an electron trapped in a closed space, this kind of electron trap is called a potential well. Most straightforward case is the infinite potential well in one dimension, where an electron is confined completely and can never scape, because it requires infinite amount of energy to do so. Let an electron trapped in an infinite potential well of width L (x=L). The potential energy of this system as following:
