← ScienceWhich consequence results when defects disrupt periodicity near graphene band gaps?
A)Increased electron/hole recombination probability✓
B)Elimination of all electrical conductivity
C)Enhanced thermoelectric energy conversion
D)Increased phonon mean free path
💡 Explanation
Increased electron-hole recombination occurs via increased scattering at defects. Defect-induced scattering enhances non-radiative transitions because the disrupting periodicity near band gaps introduces mid-gap states. Therefore, electron-hole recombination rate increases rather than suppressing effects occurring in pure crystals.
