Which outcome prevents efficient semiconduction when band structures overlap?

💡 Explanation

Excited state electron hole recombination limits semiconduction by forcing electrons to drop back, because the overlapping bands mean there is little or no energy gap; therefore an efficient voltage cannot be maintained, rather than efficient conductivity.
