← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a crystal lattice defect increases?
A)Photovoltaic efficiency degrades near grain✓
B)Thermal conductivity increases sharply again
C)Superconductivity onset temperature increases
D)Carrier mobility shows weaker dependence
💡 Explanation
Increased crystal lattice defects enhance electron-phonon scattering, reducing carrier lifetime because phonons disrupt electron flow, therefore photovoltaic efficiency degrades, rather than increasing conductivity or boosting superconducting transition due to defect states.
