Abstract:
An approximate solution of the radial Schrödinger equation is obtained with a generalized group of potentials in the presence of both magnetic field and potential effect using supersymmetric quantum mechanics and shape invariance methodology. The energy bandgap of the generalized group of potentials was calculated for wave cases at the ground state. By varying the numerical values of the potential strengths, the energy band gap of Hellmann's potential and Coulomb-Hulthẻn potential respectively were obtained. It is noted that the inclusion of the potential effect greatly affects the accuracy of the results. Our calculated results are in agreement and better than the existing calculated results. The present results approximately coincide with the standard bandgap of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS).

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...
Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
