← ScienceWhich limitation appears when quantum dots are densely packed?
A)Wave function electron tunneling broadens energy✓
B)Phonon scattering decreases carrier mobility
C)Surface plasmons quench fluorescence efficiency
D)Auger recombination reduces quantum yield
💡 Explanation
Electron tunneling widens the emission spectrum, because the reduced inter-dot spacing means the wave function of the quantum-dot electron orbitals overlap creating delocalization; therefore, electrons flow between dots causing energy variation rather than staying confined within a single dot.
