Which outcome is observed when applying mechanical stress to gallium-doped germanium?

💡 Explanation

The band gap narrows under stress due to deformations altering interatomic spacing and energy levels. Since piezoresistivity modifies electronic band structure via deformation potential, therefore band gap energy reduces, rather than causing superconductivity phenomena under normal conditions.
