← ScienceWhich outcome happens at silicon's surface via dangling bonds?
A)Increased surface state recombination velocity✓
B)Reduced oxide layer tunneling probability
C)Enhanced electron-hole plasma confinement
D)Decreased plasmon resonance energy transfer
💡 Explanation
Increased surface recombination is a result, because unterminated silicon atoms create surface energy states increasing Shockley-Read-Hall recombination. This outcome rather than quantum confinement, occurs as these dangling bonds introduce defects; therefore SRH model appropriately explains the outcome.
