2D Schroedinger Poisson solver AQUILA

from 2D Schroedinger Poisson solver AQUILA by Martin Rother
AQUILA is a 2D Schroedinger Poisson solver for GaAs / AlGaAs semiconductor nanostructures.

[E,psi]=schrsolv2D(pot,x,y,massx,massy,nr)
function [E,psi]=schrsolv2D(pot,x,y,massx,massy,nr)

%SCHRSOLV2D solve Schroedinger equation in 2D

%[E,psi]=schrsolv2D(pot,x,y,massx,massy,nr)
%
%Solves Schroedingers Equation and computes wavefunctions and energies in 2D.
%
%pot        : potential
%x,y        : indices of nodes in global node positions aquila_structure.xpos/.ypos
%massx,massy: mass
%nr         : nr of desired solutions
