â ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a rapidly cooled semiconductor crystal contains dislocations?
A)Increased rate of electron-hole recombinationâ
B)Enhanced thermal conductivity at defects
C)Increased free carrier concentration locally
D)Higher efficiency optical photon emission
đĄ Explanation
Dislocations influence the band structure near defects, leading to increased electron-hole recombination rates. Recombination occurs because dislocations introduce electronic states within the band gap; therefore, electrons and holes recombine more readily, rather than maintain their individual carrier states.
