← ScienceWhich effect is diminished when grain boundary interfacial area increases?
A)Critical resolved shear stress increases
B)Band gap energy magnitudes decrease✓
C)Carrier mobility increases sharply then
D)Superconducting transition temperatures increase
💡 Explanation
Increased interfacial space causes electron confinement because quantum confinement increases the energy of electrons forcing discrete energy levels where the minimum energy corresponds to a rise, therefore the band gap's energy decreases rather than increasing, unlike other deformation effects.
