← ScienceWhich outcome minimizes the electron's probability of presence between quantum dots?
A)Increased potential energy barrier✓
B)Decreased quantum well separation
C)Resonant tunneling enhancement
D)Enhanced electron-phonon interaction
💡 Explanation
An increased potential energy barrier minimizes the probability of an electron existing between the quantum dots because it exponentially reduces **quantum tunneling**. Therefore, the electron is less likely to be present, rather than alternatives arising from decreased separation or other effects without raising the barrier.
