← ScienceWhich mechanism limits LED efficiency during high current operation?
A)Auger recombination reduces photon output✓
B)Increased series resistance causes heating
C)Electromigration compromises the electrical contacts
D)Quantum confinement decreases radiative transitions
💡 Explanation
Increased carrier density causes Auger recombination in semiconductors; energy is dissipated as heat, rather than light, because the excess energy transfers to another electron that then loses it thermally; therefore efficiency reduces, rather than series resistance heating.
