← ScienceWhich consequence results when exceeding silicon crystal's thermal conductivity limits?
A)Increased electron-hole recombination events✓
B)Decreased phonon mean free path
C)Ferromagnetic domain alignment occurs
D)Superconducting Cooper pair formation
💡 Explanation
With less heat dissipation and exceeding limits, lattice vibrations hinder efficient heat transfer. Increased temperature promotes electron-hole recombination because increased thermal energy allows more electrons to jump the band gap forming excitons, therefore, energy is dissipated non-radiatively rather than phonon-based cooling.
