Which consequence results when applying strong static electric field to crystal containing mobile ionic defects?

💡 Explanation

When an electric field is applied, electrochemical migration occurs because ionic defects drift along the electric field gradient, leading to accumulation and eventual dendrite formation if the defects are metal ions. Therefore electrochemical migration results, rather than piezoelectric, thermoelectric or exciton suppression which involve distinct mechanisms and conditions.
