← ScienceWhich outcome arises when applying strain to silicon, affecting electronic behavior?
A)Band gap energy modulation✓
B)Increased thermal conductivity
C)Direct piezoelectric charge generation
D)Enhanced electron-phonon coupling
💡 Explanation
Applying strain modifies the crystal lattice, causing band gap energy modulation because changing atomic distances affect electron energy levels and available states; therefore, the electronic behavior is affected, rather than processes that are indirectly impacted.
