Abstract.

A recipe to design quantum devices that exhibit the theoretical pseudo-Gaussian oscillator electronic states properties is given. The algorithm is described en detail and is illustrated by the computation of a Mn x Cd1- x Te ternary alloy pseudo-Gaussian heterostructure. The numerical procedure reaches beyond of pseudo-Gaussian models and can be used for designing epitaxial growth devices with desired electronic states structure. The calculations are carried out in the envelope function and effective mass approximations.
