← ScienceWhich material property shift results when quantum dots are increasingly compressed?
A)Band gap widens significantly✓
B)Electrical conductivity diminishes
C)Melting point decreases sharply
D)Thermal expansion coefficient increases
💡 Explanation
The band gap widens because of the Quantum Confinement effect; compressing the quantum dot confines electrons to smaller space, therefore increasing their kinetic energy which translates to a larger band gap, rather than other effects under these conditions.
