3D problem. A quantum dot (QD) has dimensions a,b, and c as shown in figure, a<b<c. Find the available energy states of an electron in the QD (assuming the electron is trapped in the QD, it has no interaction with lattice).
a) Find total energy E (in terms of quantum numbers) and corresponding wavefunctions of an electron (start form Schrödinger equation and show all work). b) Calculate the lowest and the second-lowest possible energy E (value). What is the degree of degeneracy of these two energy states? c) Let a<b=c, find the lowest and the second-lowest energy. What is the degree of degeneracy for each of the two energy states? d) Let a=b=c, what is the lowest and the second-lowest energy? What is the degree of degeneracy for each of the two energy states?
