Abstract | Although infinite potential 'particle in a box' models are widely used to introduce quantised energy levels their predictions cannot be quantitatively compared with atomic emission spectra. Here, this problem is overcome by describing how both infinite and finite potential well models can be used to calculate the confined energy levels of semiconductor quantum wells. This is done by using physics and mathematics concepts that are accessible to pre-university students. The results of the models are compared with experimental data and their accuracy discussed.
