← ScienceWhich risk increases when gallium arsenide LEDs operate at high temperatures?
A)Increased electron-hole recombination rate✓
B)Decreased radiative efficiency overall
C)Shift of peak emission wavelength
D)Boost of quantum confinement effects
💡 Explanation
Increased temperature boosts electron-hole recombination rate, because thermal energy overcomes the band gap resulting in non-radiative transitions. Therefore, LED efficiency plummets faster, rather than shifting wavelength or quantum confinement, which exhibit minor changes due to thermal stresses.
