VISUALIZING CONCEPTS OF QUANTUM PHYSICS

This is a repository of chapters that interactively visualize foundational concepts of semi-conductor physics. Click on any chapter to understand the inner workings of atoms and molecules, and how they influence the phenomena we observe.

CHAPTER 1

Understanding a Hydrogen Atom

Understanding the shortcomings of the classical model, and seeing how the quantum model predicts the position of electrons.

CHAPTER 2

Energies of a Subatomic Particle

Explore potential and kinetic energies of an electron and see the differences between the predictions of classical and quantum physics.

CHAPTER 3

Bonding of a Hydrogen
Atom

See why and how two hydrogen atoms form a bond and form a Hydrogen molecule.

CHAPTER 4

Hybridization of Silicon
Atoms

What happens when atoms with more than one electron bond together?
