Which mechanism causes reduced light emission when adding impurities within an LED's band gap?

💡 Explanation

Introducing impurities creates defect states, therefore increasing the likelihood of non-radiative Auger recombination because energy is dissipated as heat rather than photons; rather than radiative recombination which emits light.
