Which mechanism limits electron conductivity in a partially filled molecular orbital within a nanowire?

💡 Explanation

When electrons propagate in a partially filled orbital, phonon scattering occurs because thermal vibrations disrupt the electron's wave-like motion, limiting its mean free path and conductivity. Therefore Phonon scattering limits conductivity, rather than Coulomb repulsion, quantum tunneling, or band mismatch which are less dominant in this scenario.
