← ScienceWhich physical outcome arises when hydrostatic pressure increases on crystal?
A)Increased vibrational phonon frequencies✓
B)Reduced exciton binding energies
C)Enhanced spin-orbit coupling effects
D)Decreased free carrier concentration
💡 Explanation
Increased pressure causes reduced crystal lattice spacing, leading to increased interatomic force constants; Acoustic Phonon Dispersion then shifts to higher vibrational frequencies. Therefore higher phonon frequencies occur under pressure rather than changes in the coupling effects because of structural origin.
