I am not sure how is it possible that asymetric potential well does not have bond states if ##E<U_1<U_2##. In symmetric case solution always exists. Why this is a case?
I may be misunderstanding the question here... The asymmetric finite square well does have bound state solutions.LagrangeEuler said:I am not sure how is it possible that asymetric potential well does not have bond states if ##E<U_1<U_2##.

A finite square well is a potential energy function commonly used to represent a particle trapped within a specific region. It has a finite width and is typically symmetrical, meaning the potential energy is equal on both sides of the well.
Bond states are the energy levels that a particle can occupy within a finite square well. These states correspond to the allowed energy levels of the particle as it moves within the well.
The depth of a finite square well directly affects the energy levels or bond states that a particle can occupy within the well. A deeper well will have more bond states and a shallower well will have fewer bond states.
An asymmetric potential well is a type of finite square well where the potential energy on one side is different from the other. This results in an uneven distribution of bond states and can significantly impact the behavior of particles within the well.
Finite square wells are used in a variety of real-world applications, including modeling electron behavior in atoms, studying quantum tunneling, and analyzing potential energy barriers in chemical reactions. They are also used in the design of microelectronic devices such as quantum wells and quantum dots.
