Which change occurs when radiative recombination dominates in direct band semiconductors?

💡 Explanation

Radiative recombination emits photons, therefore it occurs via direct band transitions. Minority carrier lifetime decreases because electrons directly recombine rather than via traps or defects, causing non-radiative processes.
