  The effect of non-sphericity of the quantum dot on the eigenvalues and
eigenfunctions has been investigated for the case of both the finite and
infinite barrier. The ground and excited state energies have been calculated
for prolate and oblate spheroids as a function of eccentricity of the spheroid.
The analytic wavefunctions giving the admixture of higher angular momentum
states have been obtained as a function of eccentricity.
