Which effect is diminished when grain boundary interfacial area increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased interfacial space causes electron confinement because quantum confinement increases the energy of electrons forcing discrete energy levels where the minimum energy corresponds to a rise, therefore the band gap's energy decreases rather than increasing, unlike other deformation effects.
