← ScienceWhich consequence results when hydrostatic pressure exceeds silicon crystal yield?
A)Increased electron flow and current
B)Piezoelectric voltage generation decreases
C)Permanent atomic lattice deformation arises✓
D)Hall effect sensor output amplifies
💡 Explanation
Permanent deformation occurs when pressure exceeds a crystal's limit because plastic deformation, a mechanism involving dislocation slip through the crystal lattice, surpasses elastic behavior; therefore, the crystal structure is irreversibly altered rather than exhibiting electrical changes.
