Which mechanism precipitates increased recombination in strained silicon?

💡 Explanation

Increased trap state density arises because strain induces defects and dislocations, boosting the availability of intermediate energy levels within the bandgap, increasing the Shockley-Read-Hall recombination rate; therefore, excess electron-hole pairs quickly recombine, rather than contributing to current production in an unrestrained crystal.
