Which effect occurs when applying intense pressure to germanium?

💡 Explanation

Applying pressure narrows the band gap of semiconductors due to increased atomic interaction; therefore, resistance drops because electron mobility increases through the conduction band, rather than other structural defects being the primary driver.
