Which outcome primarily arises when applied voltage permits electrons to occupy normally forbidden orbital energy levels in gallium nitride?

💡 Explanation

Increased current through the diode occurs because significant **tunneling** through the material's band gap allows electrons to occupy higher energy states, which increases conductivity; therefore, current increases, rather than decreases thermal threshold or changes recombination.
