We can approximate an electron moving in a nanowire (a small, thin wire) as a one-dimensional infi nite square-well potential. Let the wire be 2.0 μm long. The nanowire is cooled to a temperature of 13 K, and we assume the electron’s average kinetic energy is that of gas molecules at this temperature ( 3kT/2). (a) What are the three lowest possible energy levels of the electrons? (b) What is the approximate quantum number of electrons moving in the wire?
