Which mechanism impedes electron flow when crystal lattice defects increase?

💡 Explanation

Increased crystal lattice defects cause increased *phonon scattering*, where lattice vibrations disrupt electron movement. Because electrons collide more frequently with the lattice, there is greater resistivity and thus a disruption, rather than tunneling or increased quasiparticle behaviors.
