Which mechanism causes increased resistance when mechanical stress distorts a piezoelectric crystal?

A)Reduced piezoelectric charge generation
B)Enhanced electron-phonon scattering
C)Increased crystalline defect formation
D)Decreased ferroelectric domain alignment

💡 Explanation

Mechanical stress induces lattice vibrations altering electron flow; Enhanced electron-phonon scattering raises resistance. This increased scattering dissipates electron momentum because the stress creates more scattering points, therefore resistance increases rather than decreases via piezoelectric effects or defect changes.
