Which consequence results when quantum wells are narrowed?

💡 Explanation

Reducing the width increases quantum confinement; the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle dictates that increasing spatial confinement increases momentum uncertainty. Because momentum is directly related to kinetic energy, this increases electron tunneling probability rather than decreasing band gap energy therefore.
