  ABSTRACT: Using a model anharmonic oscillator with asymptotically decreasing effective mass to study the effect of compositional grading on the quantum mechanical properties of a semiconductor heterostructure, we determine the exact bound states and spectral values of the system. Furthermore, we show that ordering ambiguity only brings about a spectral shift on the quantum anharmonic oscillator with spatially varying effective mass. A study of thermodynamic properties of the system reveals a resonance condition dependent on the magnitude of the anharmonicity parameter. This resonance condition is seen to set a critical value on the said parameter beyond which a complex valued entropy which is discussed, emerges.
