Which outcome occurs when the electron energy matches a forbidden gap in a semiconductor crystal containing multiple overlapping atomic orbitals?

💡 Explanation

Localized defect states form in such situations because Anderson localization traps electrons due to disorder leading to the disruption of Bloch waves. Therefore localized states form, rather than transmission, reduced noise, or band change, because of destructive interference.
