Which instability increases when quantum well barrier width reduces?

💡 Explanation

Electron tunneling increases with reduced barrier width because the wave function decay length decreases, influencing tunneling drastically; therefore, more electrons bypass the barrier, rather than reflecting or being confined, at wider widths.
