← ScienceWhich risk increases when gallium arsenide crystals experience strain?
A)Reduced electron mobility occurs✓
B)Improved optical transparency results
C)Increased thermal conductivity arises
D)Enhanced piezoelectric effect appears
💡 Explanation
Lower electron mobility affects high frequency devices; strain alters the crystal lattice via the deformation potential mechanism. The band structure changes; therefore, mobility usually decreases, rather than an increase in conductivity, because lattice regularity lowers resistance in the crystal.
