Which outcome occurs when a quantum well’s barrier thickness decreases to nanoscale dimensions?

💡 Explanation

As the barrier thickness decreases, the wave function penetration through the barrier increases because of quantum tunneling, leading to a higher probability of electrons tunneling through it. Therefore increased tunneling probability results, rather than modified quantization, scattering, or exciton suppression which require different quantum conditions.
