← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an exciton encounters a mismatched energy level?
A)Phonon emission by lattice vibration✓
B)Increased electron mobility results then,
C)Higher radiative recombination probability comes now
D)Exciton diffusion over longer distances exists
💡 Explanation
Phonon emission occurs in a semiconductor because when an exciton transfers from high to lower energy states, its excess energy dissipates via the electron-phonon interaction, rather than radiative recombination or diffusion pathways, therefore leading to lattice vibrations.
