Resonant and unbounded states in QWs

[dalonsoa]

Solcore uses the method described by Frensley (1992) to solve the Schrodinger equation in QWs, which allows calculation of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of an arbitrary potential. However, only closed and periodic boundary conditions are implemented. Solcore does not incorporate the quantum transmitting boundary method (QTBM) described by Frensley, meaning that unbounded states will be, in general, not correct, which is a limitation of the solver that should be removed.
