← ScienceWhich outcome results when a mechanical stress exceeds a crystal's limit?
A)Dislocation motion causes plastic deformation✓
B)Increased electron band-gap occurs
C)Piezoelectric charge accumulates uniformly
D)Superconductivity abruptly emerges locally
💡 Explanation
Plastic deformation results from high stress because dislocation motion, a form of crystal slip involving movement through the lattice, exceeds the atomic bonding limits; therefore slip bands form, rather than piezoelectric effects or superconductivity, which arise from different conditions.
