Which mode occurs when a germanium crystal lattice contains arsenic impurities?

A)Increased electrical conductivity
B)Reduced thermal expansion
C)Spontaneous fracture propagation
D)Enhanced light absorption

💡 Explanation

Increased electrical conductivity emerges in germanium doped with arsenic because the *electron donor effect* introduces free electrons into the conduction band; therefore, conductivity rises, rather than decreased thermal expansion which requires different conditions related to phonon behavior.
