Which conduction change occurs when strain distorts a semiconductor lattice?

💡 Explanation

A change in the crystal lattice spacing from strain alters the band structure, causing a change in band gap energy because *lattice deformation potential* modifies electronic energy levels; therefore conduction changes, rather than scattering increasing or carrier densities changing independently from band structure.
