Which outcome occurs when a semiconductor's crystal lattice contains impurities causing localized Mid-Gap states during electron excitation?

💡 Explanation

When mid-gap states exist and electrons are excited, increased electron-hole recombination occurs because these states act as stepping stones for electrons to lose energy radiatively, decreasing efficiency. Therefore increased radiative recombination results, rather than mobility changes or de-trapping, which involve other mechanisms
