Which consequence results when dopants alter grain boundaries?

💡 Explanation

The Fermi level alignment shifts occur because dopants cause charge accumulation at grain boundaries through band bending, therefore interfacial potentials shift where space charge neutrality occurs rather than bulk uniform modification or catalysis.
