← ScienceWhich outcome reduces electron mobility in crystal lattice?
A)Phonon scattering near Brillouin zone✓
B)Increased electron-hole recombination rate
C)Quantum tunneling through potential barriers
D)Enhanced spin-orbit coupling effects
💡 Explanation
Phonon scattering reduces mobility because lattice vibrations (phonons) deviate electrons from their path, impeding consistent movement. Therefore, electron mobility decreases rather than increasing, because electrons scatter off impurities or imperfections within the lattice.
