← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased electrical resistance in deformed crystal structures?
A)Increased phonon scattering events✓
B)Reduced electron effective mass
C)Enhanced electron-hole recombination
D)Decreased electronic band bending
💡 Explanation
Increased phonon population in a deformed crystal structure interferes with electron movement because the dominant Carrier scattering increases, therefore electrical resistance increases rather than decreasing due to band structure effects or optimized carrier transport.
