Abstract
The effects of an applied electric field on quantum well subband energ ies are calculated variationally within the effective mass approximati on for model potential profiles. The concept of a quasi-bound state is examined critically. For higher electric field values it is shown tha t the quasi-bound state approximation for the ground and first excited state of the electron, and for the ground state of the hole is valid.
