← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a direct bandgap semiconductor LED experiences increased temperature?
A)Peak emission wavelength redshifts✓
B)Radiative recombination increases linearly
C)Minority carrier diffusion length reduces
D)The Fermi level shifts higher
💡 Explanation
Increased temperature causes increased lattice vibrations. This influences the band structure, reducing the bandgap via electron-phonon interaction. Therefore, the peak emission wavelength redshifts because lower energy photons are emitted rather than shorter wavelengths.
