← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a quantum dot's exciton wavefunction overlaps trap-state defect functions?
A)Non-radiative electron-hole recombination accelerates✓
B)Quantum dot emission wavelength redshifts
C)Exciton binding energy increases sharply
D)Oscillator strength of transition increases
💡 Explanation
Non-radiative recombination accelerates because trap states introduce alternative decay channels through the mechanism of electron-phonon coupling, reducing luminescence efficiency. Therefore, recombination rate is higher rather than radiative decay, given appropriate dot size and defect function overlap.
