← ScienceWhich process inhibits electron transport in semiconductors when lattice mismatch rises?
A)Orbital hybridization decreases conductance
B)Phonon scattering limits mobility✓
C)Quantum tunneling creates junctions
D)Band bending enhances recombination
💡 Explanation
Increased lattice mismatch raises phonon populations due to local distortions; therefore, phonon scattering increases, hindering electron transport because more energy dissipates rather than enabling free carrier mobility which would occur with fewer defects.
