Which consequence results when electron orbitals in a semiconductor quantum dot strongly hybridize?

A)Increased quantum tunneling probability
B)Shift towards insulating behavior
C)Reduced exciton binding energy
D)Enhanced phonon scattering rate

💡 Explanation

Increased quantum tunneling occurs because strong orbital hybridization creates more delocalized electronic states. Electrons now encounter lower potential barriers; therefore tunneling probability increases rather than remaining unchanged because delocalization changes energy landscapes.
