Which consequence results when a quantum dot's oxide layer degrades?

A)Increased electron tunneling leakage current
B)Slower electron-phonon relaxation rate
C)Increased radiative recombination efficiency
D)Reduced quantum confinement energy level

💡 Explanation

Increased oxide defects enhance electron tunneling to the substrate, creating leakage current because of Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. Therefore, tunneling-related leakage rises, rather than enhanced recombination or relaxed energy, under these specific quantum-confined degraded conditions.
