Abstract
Based on analogies between electromagnetics and quantum mechanics, we introduce a method to calculate the electronic subband structure in fi nite-barrier quantum wires of arbitrary shape. Our method is computati onally simple, and results are in satisfactory agreement with both mai nframe computer solutions and with analytical results for finite-barri er systems, which are introduced here.
