Which mechanism causes thermal resistance to increase within solid-state thermoelectric modules?

💡 Explanation

Phonon scattering increases thermal resistance because crystal lattice dislocations disrupt phonon propagation, therefore reducing thermal conductivity rather than increased electron transfer or magnetic effects that occur under different mechanisms.
