← ScienceWhich risk increases when a quantum dot's confinement function is designed with steep potential barriers?
A)Reduced electron-phonon scattering rate
B)Increased resonant tunneling probability✓
C)Enhanced exciton binding energy
D)Higher sensitivity to surface defects
💡 Explanation
Increased tunneling emerges because the abrupt potential facilitates the *quantum tunneling* mechanism into adjacent regions, therefore, electrons can escape the dot more easily, rather than being confined, particularly at higher energies.
