Which risk increases when applying excessive voltage across a microscopic gap containing a semiconductor quantum dot?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown is more likely because sufficiently strong electric exceeding dielectric strength of the material, initiates rapid ionization and current flow. Therefore, breakdown becomes likely, rather than just heating (Joule) or changed levels because voltage is the driver.
