Which outcome occurs when hydrostatic pressure increases on germanium?

💡 Explanation

Increased pressure modifies the germanium's lattice spacing, altering the electron band structure. The indirect to direct band gap transition is caused by band structure deformation because cell dimensions change; therefore, optical absorption increases, rather than phonon scattering or carrier freeze-out.
