Which consequence results when a quantum dot's barrier narrows?

💡 Explanation

Increased wavefunction overlap occurs because quantum tunneling allows electrons to penetrate the narrowed potential barrier. Therefore, electrons tunnel more readily, and wavefunctions overlap increases, rather than reduced tunneling due to a widening barrier.
