Which outcome occurs when quantum dots form oxide layers?

A)Tunneling current decreases non-linearly
B)Coulomb blockade effect becomes negligible
C)Light emission shifts towards blue
D)Thermal conductivity increases significantly

💡 Explanation

A non-conductive oxide layer acts as a higher potential energy barrier. Quantum tunneling probability decreases exponentially with barrier height because the wave function attenuates, therefore the tunneling current drops non-linearly, rather than remaining constant or linearly decreasing under different constraints.
