Which outcome results when surface oxidation on a quantum dot increases its surface state density?

💡 Explanation

Auger recombination increases following oxidation because surface states trap carriers and promote NON-RADIATIVE ENERGY TRANSFER between carriers therefore lowering quantum yield rather than enhancing it, because pathways compete and shunt desired light emission
