← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when high-energy photons illuminate silicon nanocrystals?
A)Quantum dot photoluminescence occurs✓
B)Auger recombination efficiency decreases
C)Electron orbitals become phonon-limited
D)Silicon lattice parameter linearly expands
💡 Explanation
Quantum dot photoluminescence appears because the quantum confinement effect drastically alters the electronic structure, causing discrete energy levels and radiative recombination, therefore quantum dots emit specific wavelengths, rather than inducing lattice expansion under illumination.
