Which outcome occurs when applying pressure to gallium arsenide?

💡 Explanation

Applying pressure modifies the crystal lattice spacing, which alters the electronic band structure. This affects the minimum energy required for electron transitions; therefore the direct bandgap becomes indirect rather than merely decreasing energy because indirect transitions become preferred.
