Which material property shift results when quantum dots are increasingly compressed?

💡 Explanation

The band gap widens because of the Quantum Confinement effect; compressing the quantum dot confines electrons to smaller space, therefore increasing their kinetic energy which translates to a larger band gap, rather than other effects under these conditions.
