← ScienceWhich mechanism prevents electron acceleration in ideal crystal?
A)Bragg reflection prohibits forward momentum✓
B)Electron-phonon coupling increases resistance
C)Umklapp scattering induces energy loss
D)Crystal defects create scattering sites
💡 Explanation
Perfect crystal lattices prompt Bragg reflection, where electrons deflect because incident waves constructively interfere. This prohibits continuous acceleration rather than increased resistance from electron-phonon interactions that dominate imperfect crystals; therefore preventing current rise.
