Which outcome occurs when a quantum dot's passivating shell is decreased in thickness?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing oxide thickness increases **quantum tunneling** because a thinner barrier permits wavefunction penetration; therefore, electron transfer rates increase rather than being reduced via quantum confinement increase or affecting other processes without tunneling probability increases at thinner shell levels.
