← ScienceWhat electrical behavior change exists when applying high pressure to an indium antimonide crystal?
A)Increased piezoelectric charge accumulation
B)Semiconductor to metal transition✓
C)Spontaneous magnetic domain formation
D)Enhanced thermoelectric power generation
💡 Explanation
High pressure reduces interatomic spacing, widening valence bands and closing the band gap; because band overlap happens, electron mobility sharply increases via the semiconductor to metal transition, therefore conductivity shifts abruptly, rather than generating other properties.
