← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when semiconductor quantum dot size matches a specific excitation wavelength?
A)Enhanced electron-hole recombination rate✓
B)Increased quantum dot migration velocity
C)Decreased quantum dot energy bandgap
D)Suppressed electron-phonon scattering
💡 Explanation
When quantum dot size matches excitation wavelength, quantum confinement enhances wave function overlap, increasing probability that electron in excited state with p-like orbital near band edge recombines with hole, generating photons. Therefore enhanced recombination results, rather than migration, reduced bandgap, or scattering suppression, which involve altering dot composition or structure.
