← ScienceWhich outcome arises due to quantum tunneling in a resonant tunneling diode when applied voltage aligns energy levels?
A)Increased current due to electron resonance✓
B)Suppressed conductance at resonant energies
C)Oscillation death because of electron piling
D)Diode breakdown because of the voltage
💡 Explanation
When applied voltage aligns energy levels in a resonant tunneling diode, resonant tunneling occurs because electrons can tunnel through the quantum wells, leading to a surge in current at specific voltages. Therefore, increased current results, rather than suppressed conductance since off resonance tunneling decreases.
