← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a semiconductor’s gate voltage confines electrons, forming a two-dimensional electron gas?
A)Quantization of energy levels occurs✓
B)Increased electron-phonon scattering rate
C)Drude model conductivity is enhanced
D)Suppressed inter-valley scattering results
💡 Explanation
Quantization of energy levels occurs because the quantum confinement restricts electron movement to two dimensions. This induces discrete energy levels, otherwise known as quantum wells—bands, therefore, no longer appear, rather than the conductivity being directly enhanced.
