Abstract
Numerical calculations are performed to determine the energies of the elect ronic bound states in parabolic and diffused quantum wells. A comparison of the electronic spectra for these concentration profiles is made and equidi stant energy levels for a diffused quantum well are found. The virtual crys tal approximation and the surface Green function matching (SGFM) method are used within the framework of a semi-empirical sp(3)s* spin-dependent tight binding model.
