← ScienceWhich mechanism causes reduced LED efficiency if gallium nitride contains dislocations?
A)Increased non-radiative electron-hole recombination✓
B)Augmented piezoelectric polarization field
C)Enhanced phonon-assisted photon absorption
D)Elevated free exciton radiative emission
💡 Explanation
Non-radiative electron-hole recombination due to the Shockley-Read-Hall mechanism causes a loss of energy as heat rather than light because dislocations introduce energy states within the band gap; therefore the LED weakens rather than emits brightly under sustained high current or other defects activate instead.
