Which outcome impairs photodetection when surface states trap electrons?

💡 Explanation

Surface states act as recombination centers capturing excited electrons; Shockley-Read-Hall recombination, where electrons recombine with holes, dominates because trapped electrons enhance the probability of recombination thus preventing generation of a photocurrent, rather than promoting charge separation.
