Which outcome is caused by modulation of a crystal's band gap in a quantum dot semiconductor?

A)Tunable optical emission wavelength
B)Increased thermal conductivity locally
C)Enhanced electron-phonon coupling overall
D)Reduced thermoelectric figure of merit

💡 Explanation

Tunable emission occurs because quantum confinement alters electron energy levels. Quantum confinement creates discrete energy levels within the dot and manipulating its size changes the band gap structure, therefore optical band edges shift smoothly, rather than changing other material properties dramatically.
