Which risk increases when an electron's wavefunction overlaps a nonsymmetrical potential well?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced intervalley scattering rate increases because asymmetrical potential wells cause electrons to have momentum mixing between valleys, therefore changing selection rules; thus rather than other options like radiative emission, scattering probability is affected by symmetry.
