Which consequence results when lattice strain modifies periodicity?

💡 Explanation

Lattice strain causes a change in interatomic spacing, and therefore modifies electron band energies, because the modified periodicity fundamentally shifts the band structure profile via Bloch's theorem; therefore, the band gap changes inhomogeneously, rather than affecting domains or superconductivity.
