One-dimensional bound states

Electron States in a 1D lattice

• This lets the user deal with a lattice of up to 12 sites, either a regular lattice, or with an irregularity
• The mouse can explore wave functions at various energies, seeing how each diverges, up or down.
• Will find and display all energies, Then will display whichever wave functions the user wishes.
• Excellent tool at a number of levels, especially for effect of impurities in semiconductors

Symmetric 3-Dimensional Bound States

• Has a wide variety of potentials - square well, lennard-jones, etc.
• Solves for energy states. Will display the radial wave function
• User may select angular momentum quantum numbers, l and m.
• Displays probability distribution in the form of dots, which quickly suggest the shape of the wave function
