← ScienceWhich outcome occurs in a resonant tunneling diode when destructive quantum interference increases?
A)Reduced electron transmission probability✓
B)Increased device power dissipation
C)Enhanced hole injection efficiency
D)Increased thermal carrier generation
💡 Explanation
Reduced electron transmission results because destructive quantum interference decreases the probability of electron tunneling through the quantum well. Therefore, the outcome is lower current rather than higher current, because other factors would cause increased tunneling and transmission.
