Abstract

The energy spectrum and the wave functions of quantum wells in strong magnetic fields parallel to the potential walls are calculated analytically by means of a new, graph supported method. This “Arrow Train Method” allows to solve the recurrence relations which originate in the evaluation of eigenvalue determinants of infinite order. The energy eigenvalues for infinite barrier height are computed as a power series in the magnetic fieldB and the center of orbit coordinatez0. The power series is evaluated up to the 18th order inB2 for the first four levels and for cyclotron radii comparable to or considerable less than the well width. The corresponding wave functions and the field dependent center of mass shifts are obtained.
