Which outcome reduces the current flow when localized defects constrict a nanowire's width?

💡 Explanation

Increased constriction amplifies electron backscattering, reducing current flow because defects interfere with Bloch wave propagation. Consequently, resistance increases; therefore, rather than increased flow via ballistic transport, electron scattering creates increased resistance.
