Energy levels in semiconductor quantum wells

Abstract We discuss the electronic energy levels of three kinds of unusual quantum wells: the one-side doped Ga 1− x Al x AsGaAs, CdTeHgTe, and the GaSbInAs ones. In each case, we attempt to emphasize the salient features resulting from the hosts band line-ups and to discuss which genuine properties result from these features.
