← ScienceWhich outcome occurs from phonon scattering in a crystal?
A)Increased thermal resistance✓
B)Enhanced electrical conductivity
C)Reduced electron effective mass
D)Uniform magnetic domain alignment
💡 Explanation
Increased thermal resistance occurs because phonon scattering disrupts heat transfer within the lattice via Umklapp scattering rather than coherent movement. Therefore, thermal conductivity decreases, increased thermal resistance ensues rather than improved conductivity under these conditions.
