← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased electrical resistance when phonon scattering intensifies in a crystal lattice?
A)Decreased electron mean free path✓
B)Increased electron effective mass
C)Raised conduction band energy
D)Reduced Fermi level degeneracy
💡 Explanation
Elevated temperature affects the electron transport because increased atomic vibrations intensify phonon scattering, leading to a decreased electron mean free path; therefore resistance rises rather than other band structure alterations due to the increased collisions.
