question

Suppose a nanostructure is modelled by an electron confined to a rectangular region with sides of lengths $L_1=1.0 \mathrm{~nm}$ and $L_2=2.0 \mathrm{~nm}$ and is subjected to thermal motion with a typical energy equal to kTk T, where kk is Boltzmann's constant. How low should the temperature be for the thermal energy to be comparable to the zero-point energy?
