← ScienceWhich mechanism limits electron mobility across grain boundaries?
A)Crystal lattice defect scattering✓
B)Increased phonon mode coupling
C)Reduced Fermi surface nesting
D)Enhanced electron-hole recombination
💡 Explanation
Increased grain boundaries cause crystal lattice defect scattering because electrons encounter disruptions, thereby limiting their movement; therefore, mobility declines due to interrupted trajectories, rather than altered vibration modes or recombination.
