← ScienceWhich outcome occurs because pressure exceeding bulk modulus?
A)Band gap transition to metallic✓
B)Increased electron scattering frequency
C)Reduced electron-phonon coupling effects
D)Increased magnetic domain wall motion
💡 Explanation
High pressures cause band overlap resulting in a transition, because atomic spacing decreases forcing electrons into higher energy states influencing the 'band' structure; therefore metallic behavior emerges, rather than modified scattering or domain wall behaviour which depend on temperature.
