← ScienceWhich risk increases when a quantum dot's band alignment weakens?
A)Increased electron-hole recombination rate✓
B)Enhanced lattice vibrational modes
C)Suppressed quantum confinement effects
D)Reduced thermal conductivity of phonons
💡 Explanation
Increased non-radiative recombination occurs where the **electron-phonon interaction** rises due to relaxed alignment; therefore energy dissipates through heat rather than luminescence. This happens because lattice vibrations couple more effectively, rather than maintaining distinct carrier populations.
