Abstract
Recent advances in semiconductor technology have led to the ability to dimensionally confine electron motion, and semiconductor configurations that limit electron motion to zero macroscopic dimensions are known as quantum dots.1 The dimensions of confinement are on the order of the de Broglie wavelength of the electron, leading to a manifestation of the particle-in-a-box atom-like energy levels.
