Which outcome occurs when a quantum dot's barrier thickness decreases?

💡 Explanation

Increased barrier transmittance allows electrons to tunnel through, because quantum tunneling is exponentially sensitive to barrier width. Therefore, tunneling probability increases, rather than confinement which would necessitate even thinner barriers, or effects that are driven electron repulsion.
