Which phenomenon occurs when silicon carbide crystal lattice defects increase?

💡 Explanation

Increased crystal defects creates localized energy states within the band gap, causing band gap narrowing because Shockley-Read-Hall recombination becomes more prominent; therefore, the band gap shrinks rather than thermal or mechanical enhancements under high defect concentrations.
