Lecture 9,10 - Spherical Potential Well

The document discusses the visualization of 0-dimensional systems, focusing on cuboid and spherical geometries. It explains the concept of Density of States (DOS) and its relation to energy levels in these systems, highlighting that DOS equals zero at the ground energy level for 0D systems. Additionally, it notes that energy is proportional to the square of the radius of the quantum dot in spherical systems.
