← ScienceWhich consequence results when electron orbitals in a semiconductor quantum dot strongly hybridize?
A)Increased quantum tunneling probability✓
B)Shift towards insulating behavior
C)Reduced exciton binding energy
D)Enhanced phonon scattering rate
💡 Explanation
Increased quantum tunneling occurs because strong orbital hybridization creates more delocalized electronic states. Electrons now encounter lower potential barriers; therefore tunneling probability increases rather than remaining unchanged because delocalization changes energy landscapes.
