Chapter Chapter 2 in Mathematical and Numerical Modelling of Heterostructure Semiconductor Devices: From Theory to Programming, 2009, pp 21-87 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The charge carriers in semiconductor devices—electrons and holes—are quantum particles. Any researcher in device modelling must have a thorough grounding in the theory of quantum mechanics, because there is no point in finding solutions to the quantum equations without being able to sensibly interpret these solutions in the quantum context. This chapter presents the basic theory of quantum mechanics, including a discussion of the derivation and structure of the Schrödinger equation, its solutions for one-dimensional problems, operators, spin, the hydrogen atom, and identical particles.
